The Nevada Gaming Control Board said Wednesday an investigation has confirmed that no personal information was accessed or acquired by any unauthorized persons as a result of a cybersecurity incident in late January.

But the state’s gaming industry regulator stopped short of calling the incident a cyberattack and did not indicate if investigators are seeking any criminal suspects.

The Control Board’s website appearance has changed since it became inaccessible in late January.

The board, on Jan. 25, issued a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying it had taken measures to protect the website by taking it offline.
