There's a good chance the person who exploited the site is reading this, so if you let us know how you did it before we figure it out I'll give you a nice bounty =)

Just include your address. Feel free to post the details publicly here, or email it to me: ryan@moneypot.com

Hello dear players,

Today, we have been attacked by someone and have suffered a loss of over 8+ BTC in the process. Currently, we are working with Moneypot to find the exact cause of this issue and have refunded all players affected except one who lost more than we held on site, but they will be taken care of as soon as the root cause of this attack is determined. (this user is now paid, all users affected have been credited!)

It is unfortunate, in the life of our casino as we have had start-up expenses that have greatly outweighed our current profits and this attack forces us to make immediate changes to the programs we currently offer.  More information will follow once it is 100% clear that all systems are securely patched and operations can continue. Our deepest apologies to those who were affected by this and we hope to have a very swift resolution.

I'm sorry to hear that, 8+ btc is not a small amount..so shocked to know that over 90% of the total lost amount is owned by only 1 player. But the good news is that you're going to refund all the affected players. Hope it will be resolved soon and there will no one can do this kind of attack again in the future.

It sucks that this happened. I look forward to seeing the resolution and finding out what the changes are in regards to the offered programs.

Hi Everybody,

as you know, we've been successfully attacked today and lost some BTC (not a huge amount, but still). As a precaution, we've put our site into maintenance mode (in effect, it's down and when accessing it you're being redirected to our maintenance page) until we reopen. To recap, here is the situation:

1) Everybody who lost BTC in the attack has been compensated. So this means that none of our players lost money permanently.

2) The site is in maintenance mode while we:
a) Investigate how the attack was performed. We know that the attack was performed directly against Moneypot's API and not through the BetterBets API entry point. There is however a concern that the information necessary to perform this attack was somehow obtained from our server so this necessitates the maintenance mode we've put the site under.
b) Further improve some of the security precautions we put into our API already
c) Audit the code to ensure that no sensitive information ever leaves our server
d) Increase logging to make sure that we better catch hacking attempts and the output they generate

3) We expect to remain in maintenance mode for 24-48 hours. Hopefully it will be on the lower end of that scale, but we want to make sure that things are as good as we know how to make them before turning the site back on again.

So, in summary: This is an unexpected and unfortunate incident but we're dealing with it as best as we know. We'll be back soon and hopefully be better and safer than ever before.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We're in this for the long run and we'll be back soon.

Due to recent events, we have to change some of our great contests and bonuses temporarily to recover the loss of funds.
It is not by choice for us but by necessity to alter these in order to continue giving back to our players in every way we can.

First change will be in regards to our Monthly Raffle which this month is for a Trezor Bitcoin hardware wallet (or BTC equivalent in value). We must move the date of the prize drawing and winner to Tuesday August, 11th. After the winner is announced and his or her prize claimed the following day Augusts' new monthly raffle prize will be announced.

Second change is in regards to Cashback Club payment for this coming Sunday August 2nd. Due to the recent financial loss, we have no choice but to reduce this Sunday's payment by 70% across all player accounts who earned cashback during the week of July 26th - August 2nd. We are in no way happy to do this but the alternative course of action was to completely remove Cashback club. This was not something I wanted for our players to miss out on, so this became the only option available. Normal Cashback club rewards will continue after this Sunday as they have been in the past.

Affiliate payouts for this Sunday are unaffected.

The newest promotion for this week the "BetterBets.io VIP Event" will continue as planned, and players can start working towards it again as soon as BetterBets.io maintenance is complete. In the event that maintenance lasts longer than 24-48 hours we will alter the promotion dates to accommodate players and allow them the chance to still win these large prizes for their volume.


Thank you to everyone who has helped make this site successful, and we hope you understand the temporary changes needed to continue operations after the recent issue.

Thank you for letting us know. It's sad to see this happen, but IMO, having something is better than nothing. That said, it looks like things will be back on track soon enough, and that's a great thing.

About affiliate/cashback payments, how are those going to work if the site's still down through Sunday? Will they be sent out on time, still, or be done once the site's back up?

[sammyfoir]

so that's why my balance in moneypot gone 9 hours ago. but now the balance are back.

[Altcoin4life]

Just to throw some humor in the mix when I first read this it was like this moment where willy wonka had to temporarily close the chocolate factory because people tried to steal his recipes.

Lobos and bjorn don't let them steal your thunder u been great to us props to you and moneypot for not walking away.

[sammyfoir]

is it any connection with 3rd party autodice?
because i'm using it. then my balance gone.

the sotware using api and also 2fa.
i wonder if the hacker was the 3rd party autodice.

[Coef]

Sorry to hear your loss, betterbets.
Looking at the bright side, it is better to get attacked at this earlier stage and give you a chance to fix it now, than to get attacked a year later when your site becomes popular and huge.

I don't believe these are related, since they said it deals with the tipping system. That said, I also use(d) AutoDice and had no issues whatsoever, balance left untouched.

Didnt they usually send the affiliate and the other thing from moneypot? so if moneypot is still up then they will be able to do this because they only need to scrap their database for that and send the amount of the affiliate/cashback to everyone with moneypot

[Havelivi]

Sorry to hear about recent attack i mostly used this site to roll dice for its super fast but after stop i always moved my funds back to my moneypot, i just noticed that when saw there under maintenance message.

They make changes site-side as well, though, to update it based on affiliate payments and such. They could likely do this with it still down, but I'm not aware of how well their admin system is set up, .

Technically it's not a huge deal, being that my funds will go to BB regardless (meaning if it's down, I have to wait until it's up anyways). Mostly just curious.

[Rmcdermott927]

I hope you guys get up on your feet again quickly.  The site is a lot of fun.   I will definitely play there again.  Hopefully you figure out what happened in the attack.

[iawgoM]

Damn those annoying evildoers :/

I'm sorry to hear about the attack, but it also makes me happy to see proper reaction of BetterBets staff - keeping all the information available, regular updates on the issues, refunding the players... You're doing a great job guys, and I hope things like this don't happen ever again. Good luck!

[BetterBetsDev]

Just a quick update: we're busy combing through the code (so far nothing major has been found) and will then release a horde of testers on the site before opening it to the public again. More news to come.
