Hard Rock Las Vegas Says Card Machines Hacked

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Vegas disclosed on June 27 that malware placed on the resort’s payment-card system resulted in the compromise of customer data.

The rock ‘n’ roll-themed casino said the unauthorized intrusions were identified in May after the company received reports of cards being used fraudulently.

The company said the card-scraping malware accessed data including cardholder name, card number, expiration date and internal verification code, in some cases.

The number of potential cards impacted was not immediately disclosed.
