on Thursday that an “unauthorized actor” acquired a copy of its loyalty program database, among other data. That database includes driver’s license and social security numbers, the company noted.
However, Caesars said it had no evidence any passwords or banking information was stolen by the attackers. The company added it has"taken steps to ensure that the stolen data is deleted by the unauthorized actor, although we cannot guarantee this result." According to Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal, those steps included paying millions in ransom money. Caesars added that while it has yet to see any evidence its data has been shared further, the company is offering credit monitoring and identity theft protection services to all loyalty program members.
“Our customer-facing operations, including our physical properties and our online and mobile gaming applications, have not been impacted by this incident and continue without disruption,” the company said in the SEC filing.Still, the recent incidents are doubtless trouble the casino operators would like to avoid, even if they can’t be dodged entirely.
