Two more class-action lawsuits have been filed in U.S. District Court in Nevada against Wynn Resorts Ltd. in connection with a cyberattack data breach Friday alleging the casino company didn’t do enough to protect customers’ private information.

The Las Vegas-based luxury resort company on Tuesday acknowledged the attack, but a spokesman said it has been assured the stolen data has been deleted.

The computer hacking extortion group calling itself ShinyHunters had set a Monday deadline for payment of a ransom, threatening to release all or some of the 800,000 files it allegedly stole from the company that contained the full names, emails, phone numbers, positions, salaries, start dates, birthdays and other personal information of Wynn Resorts employees.
