This is absolutely ridiculous. Imagine some fuckers just coming into your room while you’re with your SO making love or something.

That sounds like a good way to get their employees shot.

How fucking stupid.

“Resorts World Las Vegas is dedicated at all times to ensuring a safe, secure, and comfortable environment for all of our valued guests,” the statement begins.

Resorts World said the latest policy was established “in light of recent events in Las Vegas, and the increasing ransomware threats to casinos and hotels on the Strip,”

Hard to see this absurd invasion of privacy as being for anything but that last bit. Hope this results in significantly fewer guests, but it feels like the vote-with-your-wallet part of capitalism stopped working some time ago.

I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody does end up pwning them with a ransomware out of spite.

I was there. It was really weird. The people doing the inspections didn’t even know what they were looking for. What, a USB drive? It was clear to me that they had a very basic, normal persons understanding of technology.

This was mainly motivated by the MGM hacks so they could show that they were doing something in case they got hacked later for liability.
