BREAKING: MGM Vegas casinos & hotels under cyberattack. Complete shutdown

Casino machines, casino ATMs, hotel room doors, websites all not working

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...er-attack.html

MGM cyberattack leaves thousands of guests on the Las Vegas strip LOCKED OUT of rooms at hotels like the Mandalay Bay and Bellagio - as clip shows Aria Casino's slot machines out of service

- MGM Resorts has about 48,000 rooms on The Las Vegas Strip
- Properties include Mandalay Bay, the Bellagio, and MGM Grand, among others
- MGM said it's working with police after identifying a cybersecurity issue

Thousands of guests at MGM Resorts in the Las Vegas strip have been locked out of their hotel rooms after the company was hit with a cyber attack, according to reports.

MGM Resorts International has about 48,000 rooms on The Strip. The company's properties include Mandalay Bay, the Bellagio, Luxor and MGM Grand, among others.

The outage, first detected on Sunday night, has affected company emails, reservations, booking, room keys and casino slot machines.

The company said in a statement on Monday: 'MGM Resorts recently identified a cybersecurity issue affecting some of the Company’s systems. Promptly after detecting the issue, we quickly began an investigation with assistance from leading external cybersecurity experts.

'We also notified law enforcement and took prompt action to protect our systems and data, including shutting down certain systems. Our investigation is ongoing, and we are working diligently to determine the nature and scope of the matter.'

A concierge at the iconic Bellagio hotel told NBC News 3 the whole system is down 'internally and externally' and it's unclear when it will be restored.

All computer operations are currently being done manually, the hotel worker said.

Meanwhile guests of MGM properties have taken to social media to speak about the situation, with many saying they are unable to get into their rooms.

Footage shows the casino at the ARIA with the machines off as the outage continued just before 4pmEST.

MGM is the biggest employer in Nevada and owns most of the casinos on the Strip.

The company's website is currently unavailable and directing potential guests to call for reservations.

Restaurants at the properties are only taking cash and room charges have been paused.

Some have claimed they were left unable to claim their ticket and cash out after playing at the casino's slot machines.

Further down the AI rabbit hole seems like a very smart idea with this as a prime example. Humans are fuked. Imagine hackers creating AI who can hack faster than humans can. Doomed. If we made our own anti-hack AI it'd just be back and forth of nothing working.

The town will never be the same. After the Tangiers, the big corporations took it all over. Today it looks like Disneyland. And while the kids play cardboard pirates, Mommy and Daddy drop the house payments and Junior’s college money on the poker slots. In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you played. Today, it’s like checkin’ into an airport. And if you order room service, you’re lucky if you get it by Thursday. Today, it’s all gone. You get a whale show up with four million in a suitcase, and some twenty-five-year-old hotel school kid is gonna want his Social Security Number. After the Teamsters got knocked out of the box, the corporations tore down practically every one of the old casinos. And where did the money come from to rebuild the pyramids? Junk bonds. But in the end, I wound up right back where I started. I could still pick winners, and I could still make money for all kinds of people back home. And why mess up a good thing? And that’s that.

This. Like the online slot machines, some nerd has just coded it. It's a scam.

Watch it be some lame Wordpress vulnerability for an old ass php exploit that caused all of this. Or someone leaving default creds on an internet facing admin portal.

Just got back from there the other day.

MGM was absolutely packed too so cant imagine the nightmare for the workers.

I'm waiting to find out the guest wifi is on the same network and someone just left an old Linksys router up without any firmware updates.

Imagine the bricks being chit right now.

Unfortunate because in the end consumers will be the ones paying up.

We all knew the consequences of going fully digital. There's probably not even a backup to get into the room if power fails.

Currently at the Cosmo and can confirm @MGM more than half the machines are down. We thought they were being serviced. The apps dont work either. Saturday and Sunday was so packed you couldnt hear yourself over the chlamydia and silicone at the tables, couldnt imagine the hell the employees would have if these ppl were still here...

At vegas airport right now, the amount of convention traffic and uber is insane, traffic backed up at the terminals. It's going to be a clusterfuk this week. So glad I'm going to miss out on all the chaos.

Waiting to check in and check out is one of the most annoying things about going to Las Vegas. That's going to suck for both the guests and concierge.

Most MGM hotels have self check in machines now. The problem is you no longer can try to get free upgrades.

this is what happens when everything you make now is connected to the internet. It can get hacked

Bro that has no idea how cybersecurity works...


Hacks like this are usually done by gaining credentials from social engineering or internal leaks from a disgruntled employee. From there you just escalate privileges.

Rarely are hacks done by any kind of brute force. Ai is only good for repeatable tasks.
