A cyberattack that occurred on Monday, November 2, 2026, disrupted computer systems, ATMs, payment services, and telephone lines at Turning Stone Resort Casino and other enterprises owned by the Oneida Indian Nation. These operations are now gradually returning to normal.
Turning Stone announced on Thursday that it has resumed accepting credit card payments for food and beverage purchases, and that loyalty program members can once again begin earning points at its various venues. The group’s sports betting operation, “TS Sports,” along with its bingo operations, were scheduled to resume service at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
The cyberattack affected multiple businesses under the Oneida Indian Nation, forcing Turning Stone Resort Casino, SavOn gas stations, and Maple Leaf Markets to operate on a cash-only basis for the past few days.
Telephone services at the resort and the Oneida Indian Nation’s health centers were also interrupted. In response, Turning Stone deployed external telecommunications equipment to maintain the ability to receive calls.
According to the casino, the cyberattack did not result in the exposure of confidential information. The Oneida Indian Nation has not yet disclosed who might be responsible for the incident.
On Thursday morning, a Turning Stone employee posted a video on social media, warmly welcoming guests back and providing an update on the restoration of systems.
“We’ve faced some unexpected technical challenges over the past few days, but I’m happy to say that we’re back,” the employee stated. “Systems are coming back online, and we’re ready to welcome you all.”
Through Turning Stone Enterprises, the Oneida Indian Nation operates a diverse portfolio of businesses, including several casinos, The Cove at Sylvan Beach, the cannabis venture Verona Collective, and Oneida Technical Solutions, among others. With over 5,000 employees, the organization is the largest employer in Oneida and Madison counties.
This system restoration comes on the heels of a major expansion at Turning Stone, which was completed earlier this summer. The $400 million project included the addition of a luxury hotel, a fine-dining restaurant, and extra meeting space, establishing the property as the largest conference and convention resort in New York State.
