YOLO COUNTY, Calif. — Cache Creek Casino Resort has reopened after an attack on its computer network forced a three week closure.

Cache Creek posted on Instagram on Monday, "Big news! Our incredible teams and partners have completed the necessary work to return us to normal business operations. With that, we are so pleased to announce that Cache Creek Casino Resort is now open!"

The casino was forced to close on Sunday, Sept. 20, when officials said the casino was hit with an outage that impacted all their systems. 

“In a year that’s been so full of ongoing challenges, I am grateful to put this temporary closure behind us,” Kari Stout-Smith, COO and General Manager of Cache Creek Casino Resort, said in a press release. 

Cache Creek later said the cause was "an external attack on our computer network." The investigation into the attack is still ongoing. 

In the update posted on Sept. 30, the casino said it was working with security experts to determine if the personal information of guests or employees was exposed. Cache Creek said if that was the case it would notify affected people in writing.

ABC10 has reached out to Cache Creek Casino Resort to see if any personal data was exposed but have not yet heard back.

During the casino closure, Cache Creek posted its "Information Technology department and remediation experts are meticulously verifying data and working to create a new, more secure environment with enhanced security and 24/7 monitoring."
