Casino operator Wynn Resorts confirmed Tuesday that cybercriminals successfully accessed employee information in a data security incident.<\/p>

The company’s chief communications officer, Michael Weaver, disclosed in a Tuesday email that Wynn discovered “an unauthorized third party acquired certain employee data.” The casino giant has launched a full investigation and enlisted outside cybersecurity specialists to assist.<\/p>

According to Weaver, the cybercriminals have claimed “that the stolen data has been deleted.” He added, “We are monitoring and to date have not seen any evidence that the data has been published or otherwise misused.”<\/p>

Weaver emphasized that the security incident “has had no impact on our guest experience, our operations or our physical properties, which are all fully operational and open for business.”<\/p>

The company declined to reveal how many employees had their information compromised or whether any ransom payment was made to the attackers.<\/p>

A member of the hacking organization told Reuters during an online conversation Friday that they were seeking 22.34 bitcoin, valued at approximately $1.5 million. When contacted Tuesday, the group’s representative refused to discuss any potential payment but confirmed the data had been erased.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
