You’ve heard of the gift that keeps on giving.
The cybersecurity incident that pummeled MGM Resorts International in September seems to be the attack that keeps on taking.
The incident lasted 10 days starting Sept. 10 and resulted in an estimated $100 million in lost revenue plus the rebuilding of the company’s IT network — and millions of headaches.
Even after insurance covered much of its losses within months, MGM has discovered that the incident continues to affect Nevada’s largest employer.
The cyberattack resurfaced in the news this past week when the company — a crime victim — filed a lawsuit against the federal government agency responsible for protecting consumers from fraud.
