Station Casinos was the victim of a cybersecurity breach in March, but that the company said it believes it will have no impact on customers or business operations.
The breach occurred when an unauthorized third party accessed a single employee’s account and associated files.
Disclosure of the breach occurred when an attorney with 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 March 5.
“Upon detecting the incident, the company promptly took steps to respond to the incident with the assistance of external cybersecurity experts and in cooperation with law enforcement,” a Station Casinos representative said in a Monday email. “The company is notifying impacted individuals and has notified its regulators and other governmental agencies as required. The company has offered to provide credit monitoring and identity theft protection to all potentially affected individuals.”
The company did not provide any additional details about how the breach occurred, what data may have been exposed, how many customers may have had personal information revealed or whether the company paid a ransom to those who infiltrated the company’s system.
A Station official said the matter also was reported to the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
“The company does not believe that the incident will have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial condition or results of operations,” the Station statement said.
Station, a subsidiary within publicly traded Red Rock Resorts, became the fifth major Nevada casino company to be victimized by a cyberattack.
