MGM Resorts agreed to pay $45 million to settle over a dozen class action lawsuits concerning 2019 and 2023 data breaches. A federal court in Nevada preliminarily approved the settlement, which, according to lawyers, covers over 37 million MGM customers.
The 2019 incident occurred when millions of customers’ names, addresses, telephone numbers, and other personal information were stolen from MGM’s system and published on a cybercrime forum. In 2023, the group Scattered Spider was allegedly behind an attack on MGM and other Las Vegas resorts, where customers’ personal information, including social security numbers, was stolen. MGM reportedly sustained over $100 million in damages following the attack.
