The casino and resort operator disclosed the breach in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 14. The incident, stemming from a social engineering attack on an outsourced IT support partner, raised alarms when suspicious activity was detected within its network.<\/p>\n<p>Following an extensive investigation, it was determined that the cyberattackers had successfully accessed customer data, including a copy of Caesars\u2019 loyalty program database. This database contained sensitive information such as driver\u2019s license numbers and social security numbers of various loyalty program members. However, Caesars was quick to reassure customers that its customer-facing services, including its entertainment locations and mobile gaming apps, remained unaffected by the breach.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/record.revmasters.com\/_a1BXbZV3uxxVQ9qiBeFuTWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/record.revmasters.com\/_a1BXbZV3uxxVQ9qiBeFuTWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

The company stated that it had taken measures to ensure the stolen data is deleted by the unauthorized actors responsible for the attack, though acknowledging that a guarantee of this outcome is challenging. Fortunately, there was no evidence that passwords, PINs, or bank account information had been compromised during the incident.<\/p>\n<p>One aspect that remains shrouded in mystery is whether Caesars Entertainment paid a ransom to the cyberattackers. While the company did not confirm or deny this, anonymous sources have reported in the media that Caesars may have paid a substantial sum, possibly reaching tens of millions of dollars, to the perpetrators.<\/p>\n<p>The cyberattack on Caesars Entertainment is not an isolated incident in the casino and resort industry. Just days earlier, MGM Resorts had to temporarily shut down its systems due to a cybersecurity issue. Reports on social media indicated problems with slot machines and hotel room access on MGM Resorts\u2019 properties. However, MGM Resorts later confirmed that its resort facilities were operational, and guests could still access their hotel rooms, though work continued to resolve the cybersecurity issue.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/record.revmasters.com\/_a1BXbZV3uxxVQ9qiBeFuTWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/record.revmasters.com\/_a1BXbZV3uxxVQ9qiBeFuTWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
