Cybercriminal gang Anubis posted a ransom threat on its dark website last week. According to Cybernews, this included a time counting down to when details on Two Kings Casino would be made public.
North Carolina newspaper The Herald has since reported that the casino is working with exterior cybersecurity experts on the issue. Other information threatened by the hackers includes surveillance camera placement.
Two Kings Casino Blueprints ‘Outdated’ – Catawba Nation
Trent Troxel, vice president of the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority, which oversees the casino, spoke out on the issue. He said the sensitive documents in question are outdated and involve previous design and construction plans.
“Although our investigation is ongoing, there is no indication that our network, operations or customer data have been impacted or that this information was obtained via the Catawba Two Kings Casino network,” Troxel said. “We take the security of customer data very seriously and will continue to diligently investigate.”
Based on a reservation near Rock Hill, the Catawba Indian Nation has approximately 3,300 citizens. The tribe opened its temporary casino in 2021, with a permanent location due to launch early next year.
The current Two Kings Casino features a range of slots and table games, as well as an on-site sportsbook.
