Earlier this week VX-Underground, a well-known online malware research repository, wrote on the social media platform X that an ALPHV representative said they were behind the MGM hack. A person claiming to be a member of the latter told CyberScoop that their group was responsible for the attack on MGM but denied responsibility for the breach of Caesars. The attacks on MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment have resulted in widespread outages at MGM properties, and according to a Wall Street Journal report, forced Caesars to pay roughly half of a $30 million ransom demand.Įxactly who is behind the attacks remains unclear, but two hacking groups have been linked with the breaches: ALPHV and Scattered Spider. A pair of criminal hacking groups have been linked with attacks in recent weeks on two prominent Las Vegas hotel and casino operators that has left one struggling to resume operations and prompted another to reportedly pay a multimillion dollar ransom payment.
