Boyd Gaming has reported a cybersecurity breach affecting its internal IT systems, resulting in the removal of employee information by an unauthorized third party. The US-based casino operator confirmed that the incident did not impact any of its properties or business operations, ensuring that customers and gaming activities remained uninterrupted. Upon detecting the breach, Boyd Gaming engaged external cybersecurity experts and coordinated with federal law enforcement authorities to investigate and contain the incident.

The company has initiated notifications to affected employees and contacted the necessary regulatory bodies and government agencies. Boyd Gaming has also emphasized that it expects no material adverse effect on its financial results, noting that comprehensive cybersecurity insurance coverage is in place. This coverage is anticipated to manage costs related to incident response, forensic investigations, legal actions, regulatory fines, and potential business interruptions.

This incident underscores the persistent cybersecurity threats faced by operators in the gaming sector. Boyd Gaming’s disclosure follows similar breaches reported at Bragg Gaming, IGT, Ainsworth, and MGM Resorts, which have collectively highlighted vulnerabilities in IT systems across the industry. While the MGM Resorts attack in 2023 led to significant operational disruptions and over $100 million in EBITDA impact, Boyd Gaming has confirmed that the current breach will not affect its bottom line.

Boyd Gaming’s proactive response demonstrates the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and quick incident management within the casino and iGaming industry. The company’s actions aim to protect employee data, maintain operational integrity, and reinforce investor and public confidence. As cyber threats continue to rise in the sector, Boyd Gaming’s handling of this incident provides a benchmark for crisis preparedness and response strategies.
