On August 14, 2025, the Qilin ransomware group added runaces.com to its leak site, claiming that it had exfiltrated internal files from Running Aces Casino and Racetrack in Columbus, Minnesota. The breach affects anyone whose personal information was stored in the casino’s internal systems, including customers, loyalty program members, employees, and vendors.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates that Qilin claims to have stolen internal documents during a ransomware attack on the company that operates the casino and racetrack, which first opened in April 2008. The exact number of people affected remains unknown, and the precise data types have not been fully detailed in available listings. However, ransomware incidents of this nature routinely expose names, contact details, financial records, employee information, and customer databases. The group gave the operator a deadline to negotiate before publishing samples, a standard part of its playbook.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a local business like a casino or racetrack suffers a breach, your personal data can end up on the dark web. If you have ever used a player’s card, entered a contest, made a reservation, or worked there, your information may now be in criminal hands. For families, this risk extends beyond one person: a single exposed email or phone number can lead to targeted scams aimed at spouses, children, or relatives. The breach adds another record to the growing pile of leaks that criminals combine to build detailed profiles.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications
Stolen internal files often contain more than names and addresses. They can include account usernames, linked emails, phone numbers, and notes that connect your gambling handle to your real identity. Criminals use these connections to launch doxxing campaigns, account takeovers, and extortion attempts. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into gaming accounts—yours or your children’s—where the same password or email was reused. Once attackers control one account, they follow the chain to others, escalating from data theft to full identity compromise.
