In April, Washington State’s Swinomish Casino and Lodge reopened its doors following an approximately three-week closure due to a “cybersecurity incident.” Few details were provided about the issues although internet service at the gaming property was believed to have been impacted, according to Washington State TV station KIRO.온라인카지노사이트

Also, last September, MGM Resorts International saw a roughly week-long outage of its internal cybersecurity and data systems following a hack carried out by Scattered Spider. MGM didn’t pay money to the hackers, but it faced a $100M hit to its third-quarter earnings and $10M in one-time expenses.

At the time of the MGM attack, Scattered Spider also successfully extorted tens of millions of dollars from Caesars Entertainment, according to Bloomberg News.

Rivers Casino Des Plaines in Illinois also experienced a cyberattack around August 12. Confidential data from some patrons and employees were stolen. The compromised information included names, contact information, such as phone numbers and email addresses, as well as driver’s license and government ID numbers. Financial information may also have been compromised.
