The Nevada Gaming Control Board’s website, where the state’s casinos are instructed to go to report cyber attacks, may have fallen victim to one itself.

Since Monday, the state regulatory body’s website has been unavailable to users, timing out during all attempts to access it.

On Wednesday evening, underneath its search result, Google began reporting the warning that “this site may be hacked.”

The organization’s public information office could not be reached before this article was published.

An operator at the control board’s help line said they were aware of the problem and that they “have a ticket out for it.” She denied that the site had been hacked, however.
