MGM Resorts hack by ransomware group.
With limited information coming from MGM Resorts and the FBI, speculation has begun on some tech and media websites about who is behind the ransomware hack that has disrupted Nevada’s largest employer.
When news broke that MGM Resorts was the victim of a ransomware attack, tech and media websites were abuzz with speculation about who may have perpetrated the attack. The attack brought down several of the company’s websites and disrupted operations, making it difficult for MGM to provide information to its customers.
The FBI is currently investigating the attack, but so far, little has been revealed about the perpetrator. This has left tech and media websites to speculate about who may be behind the attack.
The attack was sophisticated and well-executed, leading many to speculate that it was the work of a professional hacker or a group of hackers working together. Others believe that the attack was the work of a nation-state or a state-sponsored hacker, given the sophistication of the attack and the amount of disruption it caused.
Still others believe that the attack may have been motivated by a financial gain, such as extortion or the sale of stolen data. With MGM Resorts being Nevada’s largest employer, it is possible that the attack was motivated by a desire to disrupt the state’s economy.
With so little information coming from MGM Resorts and the FBI, speculation is likely to continue until more information is revealed. Until then, tech and media websites will continue to speculate about who is behind the attack.
