IGT hit with cybersecurity breach and disruption of parts of its IT systems and applications

International Game Technology (IGT) has been hit with a cybersecurity breach and a disruption of ‘portions of its internal information technology systems and applications’ as a result of the breach.

According to a filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company ‘became aware that an unauthorized third party gained access to certain of its systems’ on November 17th.

In response, the group ‘activated its cybersecurity incident response plan and launched an investigation […] to assess and remediate the unauthorized activity’.

As part of this, the group also took ‘certain systems offline to help protect them’.

The group notes that its investigation continues, and its response includes ‘efforts to bring its systems back online’.

The company did not detail exactly which systems were targeted but did note that it ‘has not yet determined whether this incident is material’.

It furthered that it ‘has implemented alternatives for certain operations in accordance with its business continuity plans to mitigate disruptions and continue servicing its customers’.
