Nevada Casino Operator Olympia Gaming Impacted by Cyberattack
Olympia Gaming, operating Casino Fandango in Carson City and Legends Bay Casino in Sparks, Nevada, faced a cyberattack this week. The attack disrupted operations, leading to the postponement of events such as line-dancing at Legends Bay. Initial details were sparse, but the company has enlisted a national cybersecurity consultant to investigate and secure online systems. Olympia Gaming emphasized prioritizing the safety of guests and employees while working to resume normal operations quickly. It remains unclear if customer confidential information was compromised or if a known hacking group was involved. Olympia Gaming, founded in 2005 and based in Las Vegas, is a division of Olympia Companies. This incident follows a series of recent cyberattacks on gaming properties, including MGM Resorts and Swinomish Casino, highlighting the ongoing vulnerability of the industry to cyber threats.
