Las Vegas Sands Restores Websites After HackingFirm Still Working With FBI To Investigate Hack |
|
It took nearly a week before Las Vegas Sands Corp., the largest casino operator in the world based on revenue, to restore its websites after a cyber attack.
The hacking occurred on Feb. 11.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, a video was recently posted to YouTube (since removed, however) by the purported hackers. The video, and the hacked websites before they were taken down by the company, appeared to show that some company data and information were compromised in the sophisticated hack.
“We have now determined that the hackers reached at least some of the company’s internal drives in the U.S. containing some office productivity information made up largely of documents and spreadsheets,” the firm said in a statement.
“We have seen the video and are continuing to investigate what, if any, customer or additional employee data may have been compromised as part of the hacking.”
Sands reportedly is working with the FBI and the Secret Service in the investigation.
No official group or person has claimed responsibility for the cyber attack, but the hackers did refer to themselves as the “Anti WMD Team.”
Last year at Yeshiva University in New York, Sands owner Sheldon Adelson was giving a talk and suggested that the U.S. should drop a nuclear bomb on Iran.
