- IGT has not confirmed breach; archive allegedly contains ~21,600 files
- Qilin, a RaaS group, has hit 900+ victims across multiple industries since 2022
International Game Technology (IGT), a global powerhouse in gambling technology, allegedly suffered a ransomware attack which saw its sensitive data leaked to the dark web.
A report from Cybernews says ransomware operators Qilin added IGT to its data leak site, claiming to have pulled 10 gigabytes from the “Gambling & Gambling” company, which equals roughly 21,600 files.

Who are IGT and Qilin?
The page also includes an FTP link, which presumably leads to the entire archive, Cybernews says, but other than that, details are scarce. IGT is yet to confirm, or deny, these claims, and has not answered media inquiries into the matter.
IGT is a global leader in gambling-technology, providing lottery systems, electronic gaming machines, iLottery, and sports-betting platforms.
The company is headquartered in London, but operates major hubs in Las Vegas, Rome, and Providence. It operates in more than 100 jurisdictions, and serves dozens of lotteries and casinos worldwide.
It is allegedly the primary technology provider for 26 US lotteries, and in 2024, IGT generated about $2.5 billion in revenue.

Their usual victims include manufacturers, finance, healthcare, retail, government agencies, and education. By late 2025, Qilin had claimed over 900 attacks (with a significant number unconfirmed), and more than 2.3 million records breached in confirmed cases.
Some of Qilin’s more high-profile victims include Synnovis, the UK diagnostics provider that supports multiple NHS hospitals, Asahi Group Holdings in Japan where thousands of internal files were leaked, South Korea’s SK Group which reportedly lost over a terabyte of data, and the US pharmaceutical and biotech firm Inotiv.
