YOUR SITE HAS BEEN TAKEN OFFLINE

Reference: BB-6093 · Issued: 2026-09-05

To the team behind 1888bet.link,

An unauthorized actor has gained full administrative control of this server and encrypted every file it stores using AES-256. Encrypted files now carry a .lock suffix. Your site is offline, and it will stay that way until you pay.

What we have

• Your entire website — all 10,401 files across the web root — encrypted in place and unrecoverable without our key.
• Your complete database: every user account and its password hash, all site content, comments, and your visitor / 404 access logs.
• This data has already been copied off the server and is ready to be published or sold to the highest bidder.

What this means for you

For a betting mirror, trust and uptime are the product. The moment your players see this page — and read about the breach in the forums — they will move to a competing mirror overnight. Downtime plus a publicized data leak is exactly what drives your player base away, and we hold the data to make it stick.

What you must do

Send exactly 59.00 XMR (approximately $7,000 USD) to the Monero address below:

The decryption key will be delivered to you only after your transaction is confirmed on-chain. Until that happens, no file can be recovered and no copy of your data will be released.

How to contact us

Use our secure payment portal: http://2hqu7zpp4gn3qkxgume2r7in5goy54kuzcexgqfsmbuvbet4ae5vdzqd.onion/. It is only reachable through the Tor network — get the Tor Browser from torproject.org, then open the address above. After sending your payment, submit your case code BB-6093 and the Monero transaction hash (txid) on the portal. We respond to every inquiry.

Deadline: 72 hours

You have 72 hours from the moment you read this. After that, we will publish your data or sell it to the highest bidder. Do not attempt to restore from backup without contacting us first — we hold a full copy of your data independently of this server; restoring it changes nothing.
