Two major casino-resort operators on the Las Vegas Strip now face a combined nine federal lawsuits in the wake of cyberattacks that exposed the personal information of thousands of customers and crippled the operations of one of the companies.
A lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in Nevada on Friday alleges Caesars Entertainment was negligent in protecting its customers’ personal identifiable information during a recent cyberattack. The plaintiff, Virginia resident David Lackey and a Caesars Rewards member of over 20 years, visited a Caesars property in Las Vegas in the past year, according to the suit.
Caesars publicly detailed a social engineering cyberattack on the company in a Sept. 14 Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
