MGM & Caesaars Hack

Date: September 2023

Method: Social Engineering their helpdesk, claiming to be a privileged employee who need to reset password & MFA.

Impact: The whole casino operation came to a complete halt. MGM became a popular disaster tourism destination…

Attacker: Scattered Spider

Noteworthy: Probably the kind of hack that the general public don’t mind… as casinos are not good for society. If you have ever been to Las Vegas, you would agree (I’ve been there).
