"In this video I discuss how MGM and Cesar's Entertainment Resort/Casinos were hacked by a ransomware group and had sensitive customer data and company data exfiltrated from their servers. So far Cesar's Entertainment has paid half of the 30 million dollar to keep files from being released by MGM has paid nothing and the hackers are threatening to ruin MGM's reputation with a data leak."

Was there a group that accidentally infected a bunch of hospitals and provided the decryption key at no charge?

Better still, nobody at all.

Every success like this just encourages more to enter the game.

Gambling is a disgusting industry that preys on the stupid.

It should be illegal. Or taxed to a fucking standstill and beyond, with all that tax money going straight to education budgets.

Yes to taxing, no to illegality. It's not as if gambling was better when the mob ran it.

Not on the stupids, on the addicts.

if it's taxed more, wouldn't that just make them worsen the chances to compensate?

It would be hilarious if they hit their AP database and removed all the people that were unfairly entered because they "were too good."

Seriously, nobody is shedding a tear on these parasitic casinos that provide no societal benefit.

Based hackers

All that money and they couldn't be bothered to pay their IT dept.
