Customer Data May Be Stolen in Cyberattack against Caesars

Personal data, including social security and/or driver's license numbers of a significant number of Caesars' members may have been stolen in a recent cyberattack.

Caesars Entertainment, the American casino giant, was the latest company to confirm it was a victim of a cyberattack, after its rival, MGM Resorts’ operations were disrupted by an unprecedented cybersecurity issue. Unlike MGM Resorts, Caesars confirmed that its operations, including land-based and online gambling activities, were not disrupted by the recent attack. Yet, the company said in a filing to the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that information, belonging to its loyalty rewards members, may have been exposed.
 
This is troubling news for Caesar's customers. Cyberattacks can put sensitive personal information at risk. I hope the company properly notifies affected members and takes steps to prevent future breaches. Security should be a top priority, especially when loyal customers are involved.
