Update: MGM Resorts
NJCCIC Data Breach Notification
Original Release Date: 7/17/2020
Summary
As the NJCCIC previously reported, MGM Resorts suffered a data breach in 2019 that was publicly disclosed in February 2020. At the time, it was believed that approximately 10.6 million guests had their personal information exposed. However, a hacker is selling the personal details of nearly 142.5 million MGM guests on a dark web marketplace, indicating that the data breach was much larger than originally disclosed. In a statement, MGM Resorts told reporters that it was aware of the scope of the incident and that they have already addressed the situation.
