The criminals are being robbed by criminals.

Well, that goes to show that all of those Slot Machines can be manipulated and you won't win.

[@UnstoppableYaris]

I am tearing up... I hope the hackers get every penny of the "resort fee" they stole from me over the years.

[@ErtuğrulBeySon]

Cope and seethe.

[@QuietgalSeeya]

Lol 😂😂😂

[@corwin8359]

Yes unfair resort fees they charge

[@travisli-rufus1949]

Um, you got it all wrong, US dollar currency is the biggest scam in the world.

So the Chinese and Russians are best friends and we're sitting around like nothing is coming 🤔 I expect nothing less.

Go fight Russia and China then

The hackers probably saved guests a ton of money, who might have otherwise put their kids' college education funds into the slots.

Still charging for parking ? But elevators stop ?

[@mattp4079]

Your resort fees and parking just went up. Casinos are insured for this, so they'll make money from it.

Reading the headlines at the bottom looks like they came out of a robocop movie 😅

[@desiv1170]

And why this wouldn't have happened if the mafia still ran the casinos... If so, then: In unrelated news, two computer security workers for the Casino found drowned in Lake Mead in a terrible boating accident. And in global news, an apartment fire kills multiple people in Russia, who apparently were also accidentally shot in the back of the head during the fire...

[@gotoalex100]

The casinos probably don't have computer security or even basic antivirus protection. That's why the hackers get in.

[@The_Quaalude]

If the Mafia was smart enough to stop hackers they wouldn't need to commit crimes

This is crazy. I wish I was capable of this type of social engineering.

[@AaronEbrahim]

lol, you can't be serious. It's barely social engineering. They looked up the information of the employee, called the help desk to have his password, and then got in. That's a flimsy case for social engineering it's really more like the casino's lack of security.
