SBTech-powered sites hit by cyber attack

Brands such as 10bet, Bet.pt, Bethard, ComeOn, NetBet and Virgin Bet are all currently offline.

More than 50 online sportsbooks powered by SBTech have gone offline following a cyber security attack over the weekend.

The technology provider is now working hard to bring the sites back online as quickly as possible.

SBTech’s monitoring system flagged a potential security threat late Friday evening. This was quickly identified as a serious attack, which prompted the supplier to power down its data centres around the world as a precaution, with third party specialists brought in to investigate.

This affected sites across the world, including Churchill Downs’ BetAmerica brand and the Oregon Lottery’s Score Board product in the US. In Europe, the likes of 10bet, Bet.pt, Bethard, ComeOn, NetBet and Virgin Bet are all currently offline.

According to the tech company, the threat itself has now been resolved, with SBTech coming to the end of a recovery phase in which all services have been rebuilt.

All customer data was securely encrypted, and there has been no data breach.
