MGM Resorts properties in US shut down computer systems after cyber attack
View Date:2024-12-23 16:40:55
Over a dozen MGM Hotels & Casinos have had to show down operations after a cyberattack on its computer systems Sunday left the resort chain vulnerable.
Computer systems at all MGM properties have been shut down for the immediate future until the issue is resolved.
MGM Resorts International is working with external cybersecurity experts to resolve the “cybersecurity issues affecting some of the company’s systems,” according to a statement obtained by USA Today.
“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,” the statement read.
While the extent of the breach is still unclear, current guests have taken to social media to document how the outage has impacted ATMs, slot machines, restaurants and the inability to get into their rooms using the digital keys or charge anything to their room, according to reporting by TechCrunch.
MGM resorts will continue to deliver the experiences for which they are known, according to statement released Monday night.
"Our resorts, including dining, entertainment and gaming are currently operational, and continue to deliver the experiences for which MGM is known. Our guests remain able to access their hotel rooms and our Front Desk staff is ready to assist our guests as needed. We appreciate your patience," the statement read.
Here’s what we know so far.

What happens next?
MGM’s computer systems will likely remain offline until the extent of the cyberattack has been made clear to the company and respective authorities. An MGM spokesperson could not be reached for comment.
The FBI has been made aware of the incident, but characterized the event as ongoing, according to The Associated Press.
On X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, users were still reporting that ATMs and slot machines were still down as of 5:17 p.m. ET Monday.
The last time MGM experienced a cybersecurity issue was back in 2019 when the personal information of 142 million guests was stolen by hackers and posted to a dark web cybercrime marketplace, according to reporting by ZDNET.
Most of the data that was stolen consisted of names, email addresses and postal addresses.
