Computer hackers stole some Las Vegas Sands customers' Social Security and 
driver's license numbers during a data breach earlier this month, the 
casino company said Friday.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. said in a statement that the information about some 
patrons at its Bethlehem, Pa., hotel-casino was compromised during the 
Feb. 10 attack. It was unclear whether credit card information was also 
taken.

Sands said it was still working to determine whether customer information 
from other properties was breached. The company runs the Italian-themed 
Venetian and Palazzo on the Las Vegas Strip, and several hotel-casinos in 
China and Singapore.

In its statement, Sands noted that the number of patron accounts that were 
compromised make up less than 1 percent of all visitors to the Bethlehem 
casino since its 2009 opening. The company did not provide the number of 
patron accounts at risk.
