MGM Resorts settles lawsuits after millions of customer records stolen in data breaches


A court filing says 37 million MGM customers had personal data stolen in the cyberattacks.

The breach in 2019 saw hackers steal millions of customer names, home addresses, phone numbers and other personal information from MGM’s systems. The 2023 ransomware attack on MGM’s systems resulted in weeks-long outages and disruption across the company’s properties across the Las Vegas Strip, including the Bellagio, Aria and Cosmopolitan. About 30% of the $45 million settlement fund will go to attorney fees, with class action victims receiving up to $75 each depending on the types of information stolen in the attacks.
