Caesars Entertainment Inc. has notified the attorney general’s office of the state of Maine about the cyberattack that is believed to have compromised the data of the company’s customers.
The notification, statutorily required under Maine law, says 41,397 Maine residents were affected by the attack. In Caesars’ filing, the total number of persons affected by the breach was listed as “to be determined.”
The notification said, “Caesars was the victim of a social engineering attack on an outsourced IT vendor that resulted in unauthorized access (on Aug. 18, 2023) to Caesars’ network and the exfiltration of data (beginning on or about Aug. 23, 2023) which Caesars subsequently confirmed (on Sept. 7, 2023) included the personal information of state residents.
