A former Boyd Gaming Corp. employee has filed a lawsuit against the company over a recent cyberattack disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing earlier this week.
Scott Levy, identified in the lawsuit as a former employee living in Las Vegas, hopes to turn his complaint into a class action.
The five-count lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Nevada on Thursday, accuses Boyd of failing to prevent a data breach that could have released personally identifiable information, including names and Social Security numbers of current and former Boyd employees as well as Boyd customers.
Las Vegas-based Boyd Gaming said it does not comment on pending litigation.
