\tCasino operator Affinity Gaming reported a second breach into its system that processes customer credit and debit cards, but the Las Vegas-based company said it currently has \u201cno evidence to indicate\u201d that information was stolen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tAffinity, which operates 11 casinos in four states including the off-Strip Silver Sevens and the three Primm resorts, reported the breach on its website April 28.<\/p>\n
\tIn December, Affinity said the same system had been hacked between March 14 through Oct. 16, resulting in a breach that compromised the credit information for an estimated 280,000 to 300,000 customers.<\/p>\n
\tAffinity did not say how many customers might be affected the newest breach.<\/p>\n
\tIn the website posting, Affinity said \u201ca thorough investigation is under way by Mandiant, a firm with globally recognized expertise in data security and IT forensics.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tThe casino operator said it implemented controls to secure the company\u2019s credit card processing environment.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cAdditional work is ongoing to confirm security of the entire Affinity IT environment,\u201d the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\tAffinity said it notified law enforcement and gaming regulatory officials, \u201cand will fully cooperate with them in response to this matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tThe company operates the Rail City Casino in Sparks as well as casinos in Iowa, Missouri and Colorado. Affinity said it will update customers as more information becomes available.<\/p>\n
\t\u201cWe also will continue to evolve and enhance our system security, in response to new and emerging threats,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n
\tThis is a developing story. Please check back for updates.<\/p>\n
