Data Stolen
Nevada Restaurant Services (NRS), the owner of popular slot machine parlor chain Dotty's, has disclosed a data breach that exposed a significant amount of personal and financial information.
In a statement, the company confirmed that "certain customers" were affected by the breach and explained that the information includes Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers or state ID numbers, passport numbers, financial account and routing numbers, health insurance information, treatment information, biometric data, medical records, taxpayer identification numbers and credit card numbers and expiration dates.
Wait.
"Medical records?" It's a fucking slot machine where you put money in and things go "blingy-blingy, sparkly lights."
Medical records? The hell....
Yeah how the hell do you write an article and mention medical record info without more clarity on what they means and why and how? So chilling but as Mik states, more to the story.
I cant imagine that data is routinely collected. I could see how it is married up or some data leads to access to other.
