North California: Cache Creek Casino confirms closure due to cyber attack

Northern California’s Cache Creek Casino Resort, which has been shut down since Sept. 20 because of what it called a “systems infrastructure failure,” confirmed Wednesday that its computer systems were the target of an outside attack and that the incident is under investigation.

“While our investigation is ongoing, we have confirmed the cause was an external attack on our computer network. The privacy of our guests and employees is our highest priority and we want to make certain they have some peace-of-mind," states the company.

On its website, the company said that Cache Creek Casino Resort will remain closed while we fortify our infrastructure and restore all operations. "Unfortunately, and as reported in the news, these computer attacks are becoming increasingly frequent, with major banks, a large healthcare company and a well-known Las Vegas casino becoming recent targets. We are undaunted in our commitment to the security of our organization and the future of our business."

“If it is determined the personal information of guests or employees was exposed, we will notify affected individuals in writing. To further reassure our community, we repeat our commitment to continued full pay and benefits for our employees during this time, whether they have been asked to report for their regular shifts or not.”
