On or around November 17, 2024, Brightstar Lottery Group (“Brightstar”) and IGT Group (“IGT”) became aware of suspicious activity on its computer system, indicating a data breach. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, Brightstar and IGT determined that cybercriminals infiltrated this inadequately secured network and gained access to its files. The investigation further determined that, through this infiltration, cybercriminals accessed and/or acquired files containing the sensitive personal information of 103,879 individuals.
The information exposed in the data breach includes, but is not limited to:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Financial information
- Health information
- Driver’s License numbers
- Dates of Birth
- Contact information
As a result of the Brightstar and IGT data breach, these individuals’ personal and highly confidential information may be in the hands of cybercriminals who can place the information for sale on the dark web or use the information to perpetrate identity fraud.
