The attack resulted in significant disruptions to operations at MGM’s Las Vegas venues, including the MGM Grand and Bellagio, with estimated financial losses ranging from $80 million to $100 million. This incorporates direct impacts on revenue and heightened cybersecurity expenses. The attackers exploited vulnerabilities in service desk operations through social engineering tactics like vishing, which allowed unauthorized system access.
