Station Casinos was the victim of a cyber security breach in March, but the company said it does not believe it will have any impact on customers or business.
The breach occurred when an unauthorized third party gained access to an individual employee’s account and associated files.
Disclosure of the breach occurred when an attorney at the Clark Hill International Law Firm notified the Maine Attorney General’s Office that a Maine resident had been notified of the breach.
According to the Maine Attorney General’s website, the breach occurred and was discovered on March 5.
“Upon discovering the incident, the company immediately took steps to respond to the incident with the help of external cybersecurity experts and in cooperation with law enforcement,” a representative for Station Casinos said in an email on Monday. “The Company is notifying affected individuals and has notified its regulators and other government agencies as appropriate. The Company has offered to provide credit monitoring and identity theft protection to all potentially affected individuals.”
The company did not provide further details about how the breach occurred, what data may have been exposed, how many customers’ personal information may have been exposed, or whether the company paid ransom to those who infiltrated the company’s systems.
An official at the station said the matter was also reported to the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
“The company does not believe that the incident will have a material negative effect on the company’s financial position or results of operations,” said a statement from the Station.
Station, a subsidiary of publicly traded Red Rock Resorts, became the fifth major casino company in Nevada to suffer a cyberattack.
