Report: No U.S. bank victim of $1B hack

The hacker gang that looted as much as $1 billion worldwide from banks was unusual: It stole directly from the banks, instead of ripping off their customers.

Doug Johnson, senior vice president at the American Bankers Association, said there's no evidence that any U.S. bank has been a victim of this particular breach. Still, a report released yesterday found that some of the proceeds were deposited with banks in China and the United States. Their intended targets were primarily in Russia, followed by the United States, Germany, China and Ukraine. The report did not identify the banks involved.

Foxwoods, Mohegan post slot declines

A boost in slot machine bets at Connecticut's two Indian casinos in December was short-lived as Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Resort Casino posted declines in January.

But Mohegan Sun reported yesterday an increase in revenue, or the share of wagers.

Foxwoods, owned by the Mashantucket Pequots, reported $34.1 million in revenue, down 8 percent from January 2014. Total slot machine bets fell 2 percent, to $424.8 million. The Mohegan Sun posted a 2 percent revenue increase, to $44 million, from January 2014. Slot machine bets slid 1 percent, to $537.3 million.
