What Caused the Casino Fandango Data Breach?
The Casino Fandango data breach was only recently announced, and more information is expected in the near future. However, Casino Fandango’s filing with the Attorney General of Montana provides some important information on what led up to the breach. According to this source, in June 2024, Casino Fandango detected a cybersecurity incident affecting the company’s computer network. In response, Casino Fandango secured its systems, notified federal law enforcement, and then launched an investigation with the help of outside cybersecurity experts.
Through this investigation, Casino Fandango concluded that the unauthorized party accessed and copied certain files on its network between June 8, 2024 and June 13, 2024. It was later determined that some of these files contained confidential consumer information.
After learning that sensitive consumer data was accessible to an unauthorized party, Casino Fandango reviewed the compromised files to determine what information was leaked and which consumers were impacted. Casino Fandango recently completed this review process.
On September 23, 2024, Casino Fandango sent out personalized data breach letters to anyone who was affected by the recent data security incident. So, while the publicly available data breach letter on the Montana Attorney General’s site doesn’t mention the specific data types that were compromised, the personalized letters that were recently sent out should provide victims with a list of what information of theirs was leaked.
