The Nevada Gaming Control Board’s website was hit with a cyberattack and has been offline for several days, but it’s not believed that any personal information or financial records were stolen.
A source close to the agency said Thursday that the attack was focused on the public-facing website for the control board and the Nevada Gaming Commission, the two agencies that oversee the state’s largest industry. The site includes agency meeting agendas, listings of gaming regulations, press releases, public statistical information, phone numbers for agency offices and public biographies of the board and gaming commission members.
Gaming license information and financial records are kept on a separate internal state agency system, sources said. No other state agencies appear to be involved in the website outage and are still operating.
Gaming Control Board Chairman Kirk Hendrick declined to comment.
