MGM Data Breach Affects 10.6 Million Hotel Guests

If you’ve stayed at an MGM Resorts hotel, then you could be a victim of this latest data breach. The personal details of more than 10.6 million hotel guests were recently posted on a hacking forum. The data dump contains full names, home addresses, phone numbers, emails and dates of birth. Names and information in the breach include tech CEOs, celebrities, government officials and reporters among many others.

MGM Resorts said it already notified affected customers about the breach last year, and that it commissioned two cybersecurity forensics firms to investigate the incident. While guests who only stayed at the resort more recently may not have had their information included, it’s unclear which years were covered in the data dump.

MGM said that last summer, it discovered an unauthorized entry to a cloud server that housed some information for “certain previous guests” to its hotels. The company also said it is confident that “no financial, payment card or password data was involved in this matter.”
