Wynn Resorts Confirms U.S. Data Breach With No Overseas Impact

Casino operator Wynn Resorts Ltd said there is currently no sign that data outside the United States was affected following a confirmed cybersecurity breach involving employee information.

Good to Know

• Company says no indication that non U.S. data has been compromised
• Hackers accessed employee data in the United States
• Operations across Las Vegas, Macau, Boston, London, and UAE project remain unaffected

The incident came to light after Wynn Resorts confirmed to Reuters that hackers had obtained employee data. External cybersecurity specialists are assisting with the investigation as the company reviews the scope and source of the breach.

Michael Weaver, chief communications and brand officer at Wynn Resorts, said the stolen data has since been deleted. He stated:

“We are monitoring and to date have not seen any evidence that the data has been published or otherwise misused.”

Weaver also said the incident “has had no impact” on guest experience, company operations, or property activity, noting that all resorts remain fully open and functioning.

Wynn Resorts operates several high profile casino resorts in the United States, including Wynn Las Vegas, Encore Las Vegas, and Encore Boston Harbor. Internationally, the group controls Wynn Macau Ltd, which runs Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace. In the United Kingdom, Wynn Resorts owns Wynn Mayfair, acquired last year.

The company is also developing Wynn Al Marjan Island in the United Arab Emirates, a project viewed as a major expansion into the Middle East integrated resort market.

According to Reuters, a person claiming to represent the hackers said in an online chat that 22.34 bitcoin were being demanded in connection with the breach. At recent valuation levels, that amount equates to roughly US$1.5 million.

In a follow up communication reported Tuesday, the individual did not confirm whether payment had been made but stated that the data had been deleted.

Cybersecurity risks remain a growing concern across the global casino and hospitality sector, where companies manage sensitive employee and customer information across multiple jurisdictions. Operators typically rely on layered IT security systems, third party monitoring services, and rapid response protocols to limit operational disruption during incidents.

At present, Wynn Resorts maintains that the breach has not extended beyond U.S. employee data and that global operations continue without interruption.
