By midday Tuesday, credit cards were being accepted in at least some MGM resorts.ĭetails of the attack remain scant, including who was behind it, their possible motive and the type of information the hackers may have obtained. In Las Vegas on Tuesday, more than half of the guests interviewed at the Cosmopolitan and the Bellagio, which seemed largely unaffected, weren’t aware of the hack. MGM didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on BitSight’s grade. The report also notes that BitSight, a cybersecurity ratings and analytics company, most recently scored MGM an F for its patching cadence, or the speed an organization remediates exposure to known vulnerabilities. Moody’s Investors Service published a report Wednesday describing the cyberattack as “credit negative” for MGM Resorts, saying it “highlights key risks related to business operations’ heavy reliance on technology and the operational disruption caused when systems need to go offline or are inoperable.” Additional risks include potential revenue losses while systems were down, reputational risk and any direct costs related to investigation and remediation, Moody’s said.
