Customers at Rivers Casino in Des Plaines were targeted by a data breach of the casino’s systems in August, the casino announced Thursday.
The casino’s internal networks were accessed on or around Aug. 12, and the casino discovered the breach Nov. 2. Hackers targeted the names, birth dates, contact information, drivers’ license and government ID information belonging to an unspecified number of casino customers, employees and online customers.
Hackers also accessed Social Security numbers, bank information, tax ID information and passport information corresponding to a smaller number of customers and employees. However, the casino has no evidence that passwords or credit card numbers were collected.
The casino did not specify how many customers’ data was targeted, or how many Social Security numbers were lost. It also did not specify plans to contact affected customers directly.
