The Scattered Spider hacking group said on Thursday it took six terabytes of data from the systems of multi-billion-dollar casino operators MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment as both companies probed the breaches.
Speaking to Reuters via the messaging platform Telegram, a representative for the group said it did not plan to make the data public, and declined to comment on whether it had asked the companies for ransom. “If MGM wish to release that information they will. We do not do that,” the person said.
The group’s contact was provided to Reuters by a cybersecurity expert who runs an online repository of malware samples called “vx-underground”, and declined to be named.
