MGM Resorts International Faces Cybersecurity Breach: Urgent Action Required
Las Vegas, NV - In a startling turn of events, MGM Resorts International, a colossal player in the global gaming industry with a net worth of $14 billion, is grappling with a severe cybersecurity breach. Sources indicate that the hacking group Scattered Spider is the prime suspect behind this attack, which has prompted law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, to initiate an immediate investigation.
The incident unfolded with a system shutdown that persisted for three consecutive days, beginning after the company announced it had taken measures to address a "cybersecurity issue." MGM Resorts International, renowned for its extensive portfolio of over 30 hotel and gaming venues worldwide, including prominent establishments in Macau and Las Vegas, has confirmed that a thorough investigation is underway.
This cybersecurity breach follows closely on the heels of another significant attack in the industry. Recent reports from Bloomberg suggest that another major casino operator, Caesars Entertainment, also fell victim to hackers who demanded a ransom under the threat of releasing sensitive data.
Both MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment witnessed a decline in their stock prices amid growing concerns over the security of customer data and operational disruptions.
While the full scope and impact of the breach are still under investigation, there is an urgent need for affected individuals to take precautionary measures to safeguard their personal information.
Immediate Actions for Individuals Who Have Engaged with MGM Resorts International:
- Monitor Financial Statements: It is crucial to regularly review credit card and bank statements for any unauthorized or suspicious transactions. If any irregularities are detected, contact your financial institution without delay.
- Change Passwords: For online accounts associated with financial services and other critical functions, consider changing passwords immediately. It is advisable to use strong, unique passwords for each account and enable two-factor authentication where available.
- Credit Card Safety: Individuals who believe their credit card information may have been compromised should promptly contact their credit card provider to cancel the card and request a replacement.
- Stay Informed: Stay informed about the latest updates and official announcements regarding this incident to remain vigilant and take appropriate actions as required.
MGM Resorts International is fully committed to resolving this cybersecurity issue and fortifying its security measures to prevent future breaches. The company remains focused on the safety and well-being of its guests and employees.
As the investigation unfolds, it is essential for affected individuals to exercise caution and adhere to best practices for online security to mitigate potential risks associated with this breach.

Sept. 27, 2023 (EIRNS)—Russia is being left with fewer and fewer options for avoiding direct conflict with NATO. “It appears that Russia is increasingly left with no choice but to engage in direct conflict with NATO on the ground,” Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian President and current Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, warned in a posting on his Telegram channel yesterday, reported TASS. “NATO has evolved into an openly fascist alliance, resembling Hitler’s Axis, albeit on a larger scale. We are prepared, although the outcome may come at a much higher cost to humanity than in 1945….”He cited the following developments to preface his warning:Canadian animals, led by Prime Minister

However, “as of today, the prospects for such a solution are not visible,” he said. “Ukraine will not be allowed to go for a peace agreement and will continue to be used as a tool against Russia,” Rossiyskaya Gazeta quoted Patrushev as saying.At the same time, he thanked his

Sept. 23, 2023 (EIRNS)—From the outset of his address to the UN General Assembly today, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov identified the underlying cause of conflict in the world, as being the Western powers’ desperation to stop the unstoppable: the nations of the world joining together in new ways—through the BRICS, the SCO, the African Union, ASEAN, CELAC, etc.—so as to develop in freedom. He was equally blunt about the supreme danger: The West not only seeks global NATO domination, but also has revived plans for nuclear war against the Russian Federation.An official translation of his speech is not yet available, but given its strategic importance, we provide here some key quotes via

Sept. 23, 2023 (EIRNS)—Eckard Cordes, former chief of Daimler, blew the whistle on the insanity of the German government policy in an interview yesterday with the Berliner Zeitung. Germany is giving up its lead and sacrificing a key industry, even though demand for the product remains high. “The car industry is the backbone of the German economy,” says Cordes, pointing to the Germans’ lead: “We have the best know-how in the world when it comes to the internal combustion engine.” However, if there is no longer a market for internal combustion engines in Europe, plus extremely high energy costs, companies will pull out of Germany. German workers and their families will fall by the wayside. Ber
