Part of me chalks this up to corporate greed. Between resort fees (for providing almost no real resort perks), daily parking fees, inflated room prices, less bang for your buck Vegas casinos are making a lot of profit. But won't pony up to tighten their cyber security?

Too bad they didn't make everyone's machines hit jackpots all at the same time 😂

[@Epic.Slots12]

Robbing it without taking a step into the casino 🎰…. 🤔

[@ImsunaSong-gw2gs]

With all the money they make..they should have priority in protecting themselves from stuff like this..there are hackers that can counter things like this.

Keep up the good work Cyber gang , MGM deserves all the misery it gets .

[@kjr855]

One company shouldnt own half the strip. This is the perfect example why.

Casinos are insured for business loss. They will make money from this. If you're a customer, do a chargeback on your credit card.

Need to hire a better cyber security team

Karma MGM has ruined so many lives and made so many gambling addicts.

As someone that used to work at Madison Square Garden.. Couldnt have happened to a nicer bunch of people.😊

I dont know if the "Mob" is still involved in Vegas BUT if that hacker group is wise they better run....

[@knut]

This is what they get for 6:5 blackjack and triple-zero roulette.

Another nail in the Las Vegas coffin.

[@Tapout1987]

It's a Cruel Summer for MGM. LMAO!

[@alooga555]

Imagine if this happened back when the mob was in charge of Vegas. There would be many heads rolling (literally) by now.

[@Max34557]

Why are slots machines connected to the internet?? They should be airgapped / on dedicated systems!

[@johnrinck4883]

I hope MGM doesn't pay. I'm an MGM customer, and while this sucks, this garbage needs to stop. If wimpy Caesar's paid, then they help promulgate this. Not good.

[@kenjikitaphotography]

I hope something is done with the management responsible for the company's Disaster Recovery Plan, and they audit their past yearly table top exercises and validate what they said they could do in a DR situation would actually work.

You need to have an employee number to speak with the help desk. They won't talk to you without one.

[@loblowry6282]

MGM and others are just the tip of the ICEBERG that those hackers can do. Now, they are using new AI toy to defeat systems. We are in trouble.
