International Game Technology (IGT)

International Game Technology (IGT)

International Game Technology (IGT), a global leader in gambling technology, allegedly fell victim to a **Qilin ransomware attack**, resulting in a **10GB data leak** (approximately 21,600 files) posted on the dark web. The leaked archive, labeled as 'Publicated,' suggests full public exposure, though IGT has neither confirmed nor denied the breach. Qilin, a Russian-speaking **ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS)** group known for **double-extortion tactics**, claimed responsibility. The attack targeted IGT’s systems, potentially compromising sensitive corporate, financial, or operational data. As the primary technology provider for **26 US lotteries** and a $2.5 billion revenue company operating in **100+ jurisdictions**, the breach could undermine trust among clients, regulators, and partners. The lack of sample verification and IGT’s silence heighten uncertainty, but the scale of the leak—combined with Qilin’s history of high-profile attacks (e.g., Synnovis, Asahi Group, SK Group)—signals severe reputational and operational risks. The incident aligns with Qilin’s pattern of targeting large enterprises for maximum disruption and financial gain.
