Wynn Resorts Confirms Employee Data Breach as Second Class Action Hits

Fresh litigation challenges Wynn's security practices after ShinyHunters' extortion claim.

Overview

  • Wynn says an unauthorized third party obtained certain employee data and that it activated incident response with external cybersecurity experts.
  • The company reports no evidence the information has been published or misused and says the attacker claimed the stolen data was deleted.
  • Operations and guest services remain unaffected, and Wynn is offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection to employees.
  • ShinyHunters had posted and then removed a listing alleging more than 800,000 records of employee PII were taken, with access tied to Oracle PeopleSoft.
  • A new federal class-action complaint by plaintiff Tyrone Li in Nevada alleges over 800,000 records including SSNs and employment details were exposed and claims inadequate security and delayed notification.
