Nevada’s top gaming regulator says it isn’t likely the Nevada Gaming Control Board will discuss the cybersecurity attacks on MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment Inc. anytime soon because the matter is an active police investigation.
Gaming Control Board Chairman Kirk Hendrick on Wednesday said the board “is now acting in its capacity as an investigative and law enforcement agency to support the gaming industry and protect the state of Nevada and its citizens and visitors.”
The FBI confirmed in September that it was investigating the cyberattacks that effectively shut down most of MGM’s computerized systems. The company reported later in the month that most systems had returned to normal.
