Sands: Hackers stole some customer data
LAS VEGAS — Computer hackers stole the personal information of tens of thousands of Las Vegas Sands customers during a data breach earlier this month, the casino company said Friday.
The company said in a regulatory filing that information about some patrons at its Bethlehem, Pa., hotel-casino was compromised during the Feb. 10 attack. Spokesman Ron Reese said the number of customers affected was in the mid-five figure range, as far as the company could tell so far.
Examples of the kinds of legally protected data that were stolen include Social Security and driver’s license numbers.
Sands didn’t say whether credit card information was also taken, but the company is providing credit monitoring and identity theft protection to customers affected by the hacking.
