Cybersecurity attack targets the central operating system of a New York casino.

Over the weekend, two hospitals and a central operating system in New York were the target of cybersecurity attacks, according to local media.

A number of the state's slot sites, notably Jake's 58 Casino, had to close as a result of the casino operating system.

After the event, Jake's 58 took several days to reopen, posting frequent updates on their social media platforms for patrons.

The Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs), run by Everi Holdings on behalf of the New York Gaming Commission, are thought to have been impacted by this attack.

"On Tuesday, October 17, 2023, Everi, the licenced operator of New York's video lottery gaming central system, experienced a cybersecurity event that is still under investigation," stated Brad Maione, a spokesman for the New York Gaming Commission.

"There is no evidence that personally identifiable information was compromised, according to the Commission. The Commission is still keeping an eye on the circumstances.

Patients had to be transferred to other institutions while services were restored at the two hospitals in question, HealthAlliance Hospital and Margaretville Hospital in the Hudson Valley.

This cyberattack occurs not too long after the significant cyberattacks that targeted Caesars and MGM Resorts in Las Vegas.

MGM Resorts declined to pay the ransom money that Caesars did in order to avert an attack.

It is thought that the hacker gang behind these breaches was able to take control of six gigabytes of data and shut down MGM's operations for more than ten days.
