/ 1 min read

International Game Technology suffers cyberattack, disrupting IT systems. International Game Technology (IGT), a leading gambling technology vendor, reported a cyberattack on November 17 that led to the disruption of its internal IT systems. In response, the U.K.-based company proactively took certain systems offline to mitigate the impact. While IGT has not disclosed the specifics of the attack or its overall effects, it is actively communicating with customers and implementing alternatives to ensure business continuity. This incident follows a series of ransomware attacks targeting the casino industry, prompting warnings from the FBI about vulnerabilities in vendor-controlled systems. IGT, which operates globally with approximately 10,500 employees, reported $43 million in net income on $587 million in revenue in Q3. The Nevada Gaming Control Board has not confirmed any impact on casino operations.
