MGM Resorts International employees will be paid as usual Friday despite the cybersecurity issues that have dogged the company since Sunday.
As the matter entered its fifth day Thursday, a company spokesman said in an email that employees would be paid “per usual” after some sources questioned whether the computer problems the company experienced had penetrated computerized payroll programs as well.
MGM’s websites and mobile app remained down Thursday.
Early Thursday, MGM Chairman and CEO Bill Hornbuckle thanked MGM guests and employees for their patience during the issues that the company has yet to characterize as a cyberattack despite growing evidence that Russia-based hacker groups were responsible for the cyberturmoil at Nevada’s largest company.
