Interesting how MGM Resorts was attacked by ransomware using BlackCat. The ransom uses a malware-infected email or website to bait its victims. It just took ten minutes and let's just say in my opinion everything went down. I hope that had a good reliable backup system.

I think it's time for their security measures to be updated if they plan on being a key player in the cloud.
