Ongoing Cybersecurity Challenges in the Gaming Industry
The gaming sector remains a prime target for cybercriminals due to its profitable nature. Over recent years, operators, technology providers, and physical casinos have faced persistent cyber threats, resulting in various disruptions and data breaches.
For instance, Boyd Gaming recently encountered multiple lawsuits following a cyberattack, with plaintiffs criticizing the company’s cybersecurity as insufficient to protect sensitive employee and customer data.
Additionally, Nevada experienced a severe cyberattack last August that forced the temporary shutdown of numerous state services, including websites and phone lines. Fortunately, no personal information was reported to have been compromised during this incident.
Earlier in the year, global gaming company Flutter Entertainment disclosed a data breach affecting its Paddy Power and Betfair brands, highlighting the widespread nature of such cyber threats within the industry.
