Entain-MGM joint venture BetMGM has warned that “certain BetMGM patron records were obtained” in a data breach earlier this year.
BetMGM said it believed the breach occurred in May of this year, though it only became aware of it last month.
The breach allowed unauthorised personnel to see “personal information of some patrons such as name, contact information (such as postal address, email address and telephone number), date of birth, hashed Social Security number, account identifiers (such as player ID and screen name) and information related to transactions with BetMGM”.
However, the business said it had no reason to think that patron passwords or account funds were accessed.
“BetMGM is coordinating with law enforcement and taking steps to further enhance its security,” the operator said. “BetMGM recommends patrons remain alert for any suspicious activity or unsolicited communications regarding their personal information.”
