International Game Technology (IGT), a leading gambling technology provider, is reporting a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized third-party accessed their systems, resulting in disruptions to internal technology systems and applications.
IGT is a multinational gambling company that produces slot machines and other gambling technology. The company is headquartered in London.
The company implemented protective measures, including taking certain systems offline, and activated their cybersecurity incident response plan with support from external advisors. They have also activated business continuity plans, implementing alternative operational solutions where possible to minimize service disruptions to their customers.
The timing of this security breach is particularly sensitive as IGT is in the midst of a significant business transformation, with Everi's shareholders recently approving a planned $6.3 billion merger with IGT's global gaming division, which will be acquired by Apollo Global Management.
No details are disclosed about the affected systems, exposed data or number of affected users.
IGT is actively communicating with stakeholders and customers about the situation, though they have not yet determined if the incident meets the threshold for material impact. The investigation and system recovery efforts remain ongoing.
