Cybersecurity Incident Forces Turning Stone Casinos to Go Cash-Only

Turning Stone Resort Casino and two sister properties in upstate New York have restricted transactions to cash only following a cybersecurity incident that forced key operational systems offline. Parent company Turning Stone Enterprises, the commercial arm of the Oneida Nation, said it had shut down selected internal systems as a precaution following the incident, which affected its network and communications. The decision forced properties to operate on a cash-only basis on Tuesday (Nov. 3), preventing customers from using credit cards while knocking out ATMs, sports betting, and bingo operations.
