The OYO Hotel & Casino Las Vegas (formerly Hooters Hotel & Casino) suffered a significant data breach in January 2025, compromising the personal information of 4,700 individuals, according to court filings first reported by Crain’s New York Business on October 14, 2025.
The breach surfaced in a legal dispute between Highgate Hotels, a prominent hotel management firm, and OYO Hotels, which owns properties in Las Vegas and New York, among many other cities. Highgate filed suit contesting its abrupt termination from the OYO Times Square hotel, arguing that its August 1, 2025 dismissal violated New York Labor Law Section 860-a, which requires 90 days’ notice for certain mass layoffs.
OYO defended its action by citing “seriously deficient” IT practices at Highgate, as demonstrated by a Las Vegas data breach that went unreported by mainstream news outlets until the legal filings surfaced.
However, OYO’s order came six weeks before the breach’s official discovery date. As recorded by the state of Maine attorney general’s office, it wasn’t notified of the incident until September 18, 2025.
Crain’s characterized this timeline discrepancy as “unexplained.” However, evidence from cybersecurity monitoring contradicts this timeline.
BreachSense.com, a dark web monitoring service, published this report on January 14, 2025, fingering LockBit 3.0, a notorious ransomware group that it claimed leaked the compromised data on its dark web portal.
Further details published on August 15, 2025 by another cyber monitoring site, Brinztech.com, claimed that 30 gigabytes of sensitive data was stolen and exposed. This reportedly included:
- Personal and financial information of hotel and casino patrons
- Internal financial and operational records
- Human resources files containing sensitive employee data
- Proprietary documentation related to casino gaming systems and procedures
OYO did not immediately return Casino.org‘s request for a comment.
