Cyberattack Significantly Impacts Menominee Casino And Tribal Community

May 28, 2022

INCIDENT

Menominee Casino in Keshena, WI closed for nearly two weeks due to "technical difficulties" following a cyberattack. The casino says it doesn't believe hackers got to any secure information. Tribal leaders tell NBC 26 the casino's security breach was 'beyond significant.' No reports of OT systems being affected.

"They can't make money for the community itself [right now]," Williams, a Keshena resident, said about the disabled casino. "I know that the casino does provide a lot of money for the community. It funds sponsorships for the college and other businesses. So I feel like the money impact is gonna be really bad."
