MGM Resorts Suffers Cyber Attack

American land casino group MGM Resorts International announced that they've been targeted in a cyberattack, which has shut down many of the company's systems.

The attack has seen the MGM Resorts website going down, and guests reporting that slot machines and hotel room access being knocked down. The company says that they continue to operate dining, gambling and entertainment businesses and that staff at resorts continue to provide assistance in person.
