MGM Resorts International disclosed today that it is dealing with a cybersecurity issue that impacted some of its systems, including its main website, online reservations, and in-casino services, like ATMs, slot machines, and credit card machines.
I have a friend in cyber Sec that’s working for a different casino brand. They’re all on super high alert this morning. There’s so much of the same software across brands that they’re all scared as shit.

I don’t work in one, but I have interviewed dozens of people who have.
They took a gamble on their cybersecurity…
Let’s see if it pays out.
