MGM Resorts Reveals September Capai Cyber Attack Losses Of IDR 1.5 Trillion

JAKARTA - MGM Resorts International revealed that state and federal regulators are investigating a cyberattack on its system that occurred in September 2023 and caused a $100 million loss in the company's third quarter.

The casino operator intends to respond to the question in due course, according to MGM's regulatory charging featured on Friday, February 23.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said in September that it was investigating an attack on the MGM that caused MGM to shut down its systems after queues piled up in Las Vegas hotels and slot machines began displaying fault messages.

Hacker group AlphV has claimed involvement in the breach.

A source told Reuters in September that AlphV was working with another group called Scattered Spider to break into the MGM system and steal data for extortion.

Scattered Spider is also responsible for the Cybersecurity incident at Caesars Entertainment, where data from many members of the loyalty program, including their SIM number and social security number, were compromised, the company revealed in September.

Caesars has also received questions from state regulators regarding the attack, the company said in a quarterly regulatory report in October.
