Title: Cyber Attack Strikes MGM Resorts Properties, Nevada Gaming Control Board Remains Tight-Lipped
In a surprising turn of events, the Nevada Gaming Control Board has declined to comment on a cyber attack that has wreaked havoc on MGM Resorts International’s properties for the past three days. Visitors to various MGM properties have reported experiencing disruptions in their casino experience, raising concerns about the extent of the breach.
Despite mounting concerns from the public, the government agency has redirected all further inquiries to MGM Resorts International, leaving many unanswered questions. Shockingly, the hospitality company has proven to be unreachable for comment, intensifying speculations about the severity of the attack.
Governor Joe Lombardo’s office, however, has stepped in to address the alarming situation. In an official statement, his office confirmed that they are closely monitoring the cyber attack and maintaining open lines of communication with the Nevada Gaming Control Board and law enforcement agencies. While the statement aims to reassure the public, it does little to restore confidence in the affected MGM properties.
Signs of the ongoing cyber attack are visible throughout MGM Resorts International’s properties, including iconic locations such as Aria, MGM Grand, and Mandalay Bay. Slot machines remain out of service, causing inconvenience to guests who must now visit cashiers to retrieve their winnings. The attack is also taking a toll on the hotel rooms, as a visitor at ARIA Resort & Casino reported that their room was already occupied upon arrival.
Amidst the chaos, David and Fay Friend, visitors from England, expressed their deep concern about the scale of the hack and its potential consequences. They join worried voices as the public increasingly questions the security measures in place at MGM Resorts International.
Adding to the perplexity surrounding the matter, a group called Black Cat has claimed responsibility for the attack. Alleging that a mere 10-minute phone call compromised MGM Resorts International’s systems, they have raised concerns about the company’s ability to safeguard sensitive customer information.
While MGM Resorts International and the Nevada Gaming Control Board remain tight-lipped, the cyber attack continues to paralyze properties and rattle patrons. As the investigation unfolds, tourists and gamblers alike are left anxiously awaiting answers, hoping for a swift resolution and a restoration of security and normalcy at the affected MGM Resorts properties.
