It has been revealed that the initial breach occurred due to a ‘vishing’ attack that enabled threat actors to deploy ransomware, which impacted many of MGM’s systems and allowed the attackers to exfiltrate terabytes of data.
The attack serves as a reminder of the continued prevalence and threat of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS), as well as the huge consequences that can emerge from a social engineering attack.
As cyber threats evolve, we must remain vigilant and keep security top of mind. 24/7 network monitoring is a must in order to identify and address breaches quickly before further damage can be caused.
