“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.”
Better them than schools.
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.
They are not giving this windfall to charity.
When they use these funds to attack more targets, including schools, hospitals etc will you be happy then?
That is the problem. Every win by these groups fuels more activity.
