LAS VEGAS — MGM Resorts International has confirmed the company was hacked after a report was released detailing information from more than 10 million former hotel guests was compromised.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that ZDNet released a report Wednesday revealing 10.6 million guests were affected after the company's cloud server was hacked.
MGM Resorts declined to confirm the actual number because the data included duplicates. Officials with MGM Resorts said in a statement that someone had gained unauthorized access to certain information including guest names, phone numbers, drivers license and passport information.
MGM Resorts hired two cybersecurity forensics firms to assist with an internal investigation, review and remediation.
