International Game Technology PLC (IGT), a global gambling technology company, experienced a cyberattack on November 17, 2024, which caused a partial shutdown of its IT systems. IGT responded promptly to the incident and, according to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), identified unauthorized access by external actors to its IT systems. This intrusion disrupted some internal systems and applications.
To mitigate further damage, IGT took the affected systems offline and launched an investigation with the assistance of external consultants. While the company has not disclosed specific details about the attack, the nature of its response suggests the possibility of a ransomware attack. The investigation and recovery efforts are ongoing, with a focus on assessing the impact and enhancing system security.
