MGM Resorts faced a cyber onslaught disrupting multiple company operations across the U.S., impacting slot machines. North in Canada, Gateway Casinos met a similar fate in April, forcing several of their casinos to close doors temporarily. Additionally, Caesars Entertainment wrestled with a ransomware attack and opted to settle with a $30 million ransom to retrieve their computer systems, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. For context, MGM has stated that its recent cyber breach could incur costs exceeding $100 million, exclusive of insurance coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the widespread concern, the New York State Gaming Commission believes that the recent attack didn\u2019t compromise any personal information. However, the event certainly set alarm bells ringing across the industry. Reflecting on the incident, James Featherstonhaugh, a co-owner of Saratoga Casino, shared with the Post, \u201cWe shut down for a brief period. It got cleared up fairly quickly. It was all the same issue. It got everyone\u2019s attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rampant cyber incidents costing <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/scattered-spider-group-linked-to-mgm-cyberattack-as-company-braces-for-significant-risks\/\">MGM<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/caesars-entertainments-loyalty-program-hit-by-cyberattack\/\">Caesars<\/a>, and Gateway substantial revenue emphasize the critical need for advanced cybersecurity measures. Experts suggest intensified security training could thwart such breaches. Bulletproof Senior Vice President Gus Fritschie voiced his thoughts to the Nevada Independent, saying, \u201cIt just goes to show you that anybody is vulnerable.\u201d Fritschie further added, \u201cThe focus should be heavily on security awareness training and education. It needs to be a constant battle every day to try and stay ahead of the adversary.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mirax.partners\/a5279d0cf\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mirax.partners\/a5279d0cf\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
