Sin-City Cyber-Siege? MGM Resort Properties Paralyzed In “Extremely Rare” Attack<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Over a dozen MGM Hotels & Casino properties have halted their backend computer systems due to an\u00a0ongoing and severe cyberattack<\/a>\u00a0initially reported on Sunday. A cybersecurity expert warned that the breach might be significantly worse than current reports suggest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Every single subsystem, their payments, were offline,” Pete Nicoletti of Check Point Software, a multinational consultancy firm that works with dozens of Fortune 500 companies, told local media\u00a0KTNV Las Vegas<\/a>. He said a cyber attack of this magnitude for a company this big is “extremely rare.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

USAToday<\/a>\u00a0reports, “Over a dozen MGM Hotels & Casinos have had to shut down operations” and “computer systems at all MGM properties have been shut down for the immediate future until the issue is resolved.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the extent of the breach is still unclear, MGM Resorts’ websites are still down.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

X users report outages at gambling tables and ATMs. Many have complained that digital keys to access their rooms aren’t working.\u00a0<\/p>\n

so the MGM hotels have been under a cyber attack for the past few days. Vegas is in SHAMBLES. Room keys not working, casino games down, restaurants cash only, people can\u2019t check in. complete SHAMBLES!<\/p>\n

MGM hotels = Aria, Cosmo, Bellagio, MGM, Mandalay Bay & more.<\/p>\n
