Teen suspect surrenders in 2023 Las Vegas casino cyberattack case


A teenage boy suspected of involvement in the 2023 cyberattacks that disrupted the two largest Las Vegas casino companies has surrendered to authorities,

In November 2024, federal prosecutors indicted four men, aged 20 to 23, in connection with similar cyber attacks, though those charges were not formally linked to the MGM and Caesars incidents. LVMPD’s latest statement did not name MGM Resorts International or Caesars Entertainment directly, instead referring to “multiple Las Vegas casino properties” targeted between August and October 2023. MGM reportedly refused to pay a ransom, resulting in an estimated $100 million in losses and roughly 10 days of system outages affecting reservations, slot machines, room keys and websites.
