MGM Resorts Cyber Attack
In a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, MGM Resorts has admitted that the cyberattack experienced earlier this week could have a substantial impact on its business operations. Read on to learn more about the current MGM Resorts Cyber Attack.
One of the leading hospitality companies in the United States, MGM Resorts, is still grappling with disrupted services in its hotel booking systems and casino slot machines, three days after publicly acknowledging a major cybersecurity breach. This incident has triggered a decline in the company’s stock value by over 6%, and the FBI is currently investigating the situation.
Valued at approximately $14 billion (£11.2 billion), MGM Resorts has a global footprint in the hotel and gaming industry, with a significant presence in Las Vegas. The repercussions of the cyberattack have been visibly evident; photos circulating on social media platforms depict inoperative slot machines in its casinos. Additionally, systems for restaurant reservations and hotel bookings remain inoperative.
Not only has this cyber intrusion disrupted front-end customer interactions, but it has also compromised back-end operations. Guests have faced issues with digital room keys, and the corporate email system has also been affected.
This is not the first time the company has been under scrutiny for cybersecurity concerns. Last year, analysts had flagged MGM Resorts as a potential target, noting that it had been identified among businesses susceptible to cyberattacks. The situation is ongoing and as we get further information we will keep you informed! Be sure to check out our news page for other articles.
