MGM Resorts casinos in Las Vegas and beyond are in the throes of a “cybersecurity issue affecting some of the company’s systems.” Which would probably qualify as the understatement of the year.<\/p>\n

The “cybersecurity issue” has resulted in a massive cluster, with guests unable to use the digital card keys for their rooms, having to pay cash at casino venues (as credit card systems are unavailable), along with a slew of other headaches, including slot machines, ATMs and the company’s Web site being taken down. Company employees don’t have access to e-mail.<\/p>\n

In other words, MGM Resorts is royally scrod.<\/p>\n
