“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.”
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.
If they figure out that casinos and the like are far more profitable, they’ll leave the schools alone.
You give these cunts much higher morals than they have.
They are not robin hood, they are criminal gangs who will attack anyone and everyone.
I don’t care. Organizations should have better security culture or use fewer computers, this is an abject win in my view
I’m curious what you have in mind for the “use fewer computers” solution. Like, have people go back to using pen and paper? Scale back their business so they need fewer computers?
I mean… Do schools and hospitals have that kind of money at all? You attack school with ransomware and then what? Ask them to pay? With what money, lol? Are they going to pay in kids chromebooks? It’s far more lucrative to attack something that actually has money
