A major hotel and casino resort company has been hit by a "devastating" cyber attack nationwide, with a number of properties now impacted - including in Las Vegas. Sites owned by MGM Resorts International - Nevada's largest employer - reported a security breach earlier today. Casino industry chatter site Vital Vegas said the attack was "devastating" because "MGM Resorts has about 48,000 rooms on The Strip."

"Promptly after detecting the issue, we quickly began an investigation with assistance from leading external cybersecurity experts. We also notified law enforcement and took prompt action to protect our systems and data, including shutting down certain systems." On user on Reddit said: "I work at an mgm (not in Vegas).
