Betika has issued a formal statement responding to media queries about an alleged cyber security breach and a supposed loss of KES 11 million. The company says it has not suffered any breach, has not lost KES 11 million, and is neither a complainant nor a victim in the matter currently before the courts, adding that this can be verified with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
The company’s core claims, at a glance
- No cyber security breach at Betika.
- No loss of KES 11 million by the company.
- Betika is not a complainant or victim in the court matter.
What prompted the clarification
Reports and social posts in recent days referenced a court case and suggested an incident involving Betika and approximately KES 11.4 million. Mainstream outlets have reported that an individual has appeared in court in relation to alleged cyber fraud tied to a betting platform. Betika’s statement directly addresses these narratives and asks the media to ensure accuracy and avoid misrepresentation.
What Betika says about customer data and systems
Betika stresses that customer data remains uncompromised and that it adheres to global information-security best practices and applicable data-protection regulations. The company lists controls that include encryption, intrusion detection, continuous monitoring, and regular third-party audits as part of a multilayered security approach.
Beyond day-to-day controls, Betika says it is continuing to strengthen its cyber-resilience posture through infrastructure enhancements, frequent audits, staff training, and engagement with regulators and law-enforcement agencies to stay ahead of evolving threats.
