MGM Resorts International fell victim to a devastating computer hacking incident that paralyzed several of its casino and hotel services, ultimately costing the company a staggering $100 million in lost profits.
This high-profile cyberattack has sent shockwaves through the hospitality and gaming industry.
The breach, which occurred last week, left MGM Resorts scrambling to restore its compromised systems and services. Guests were met with chaos as check-in and check-out processes were disrupted, reservations vanished, and key amenities like restaurants and entertainment venues experienced operational hiccups. The casino giant’s online platforms also faced downtime, hindering the experience for its virtual gaming enthusiasts.
Cybersecurity experts were called in immediately to investigate the breach’s origins and extent. Preliminary findings suggest that sophisticated hackers infiltrated MGM Resorts’ network, potentially accessing sensitive guest information. While the company has assured guests that no financial data was compromised, the breach has raised concerns about the safety of personal information.
MGM Resorts’ stock price plummeted following the attack, and the company is now working tirelessly to regain the trust of its customers and investors.
