Casino giant Las Vegas Sands Corp. has restored its websites a week after they were hacked.
The
Las Vegas-based company pulled down its sites Feb. 13 after hackers
defaced them with images condemning comments CEO Sheldon Adelson had
made about using nuclear weapons on Iran.
Sands
restored the websites Monday afternoon. Spokesman Ron Reese says the
company first became aware of the hacking on Feb. 12, when company email
went down.
The hacking affected
Sands' corporate website, as well as the sites for casinos in China,
Singapore, Bethlehem, Pa., and the Italian-themed Venetian and Palazzo
on the Las Vegas Strip. Sands owns the world's largest casino, in the
Chinese gambling enclave of Macau.
The company's net income was $2.31 billion last year.
Reese didn't say whether internal systems were also operating again.
