MGM Resorts is a hotel with a spa, a casino, and other luxury accommodations. It is within walking distance of many Las Vegas attractions.
Some people may remember a breach of MGM a few years ago; in 2019, hackers exposed the personally identifying information of over 30 million customers to bad actors. More recently, all of the stolen data from the 2019 hack was released onto the website Telegram. This leads the information to fall into the hands of people who lack technical skills and would otherwise never be able to access such information.
The leak was a hack into the internal systems of MGM, resulting in the leak of (at the time) 69,000 individuals. Now, tens of millions of customers have had their information within reach of the general public.
This leak occurred in May 2022.
The leak impacted over 30 million people, specifically people that visited the hotel and casino chain before 2017. These include travelers, government officials, corporate workers for various companies, celebrities, and reporters.
The leak affects more than 30 million people, with personally identifiable information released to practically anyone. This puts the affected parties at incredibly high risk, especially people like government officials and celebrities, who always have people like paparazzi trying to find them.
