Caesars Entertainment, the casino company, reported that it was hit by a cyberattack Thursday, according to The Associated Press.
In a report to federal regulators, the company said its casino and online operations were not disrupted. The reported cyberattack comes after MGM Resorts International, another casino company, said “cybersecurity issues” resulted in a shutdown of some casino and hotel computer systems Sunday.
Caesars told the Securities and Exchange Commission that it couldn’t guarantee the security of personal information about tens of millions of customers in the wake of a data breach Sept. 7. Information that could’ve been exposed includes driver’s license and Social Security numbers of loyalty rewards members.
“We have taken steps to ensure that the stolen data is deleted by the unauthorized actor,” the company said, according to the AP. “Although we cannot guarantee this result.”
The FBI is investigating the MGM incident. However, it also said no additional information is available, according to a spokesperson for the bureau in Las Vegas via the AP.
The Hill has reached out to Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts International and the FBI.
