Over the summer, Rivers Casino Des Plaines was hit with the same cyberattack that affected larger casinos like MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment. Rivers Casino identified the breach in November and notified customers shortly after that.
Now, the Chicago casino faces a class-action lawsuit concerning that data breach in August that compromised sensitive customer information. More than 100 individuals have joined the lawsuit. Their claims exceed $5 million.
So far, no other Illinois casinos other than Rivers has identified data breaches that would put customer information at risk.
Casino giants MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment were hit the hardest in cyberattacks that became public in September.
