MGM Resorts is also one of the major casino players and they were hacked by intruders who got in via password reset mechanism by contacting MGM tech support. Hackers are from West and they installed ransomware and demanded 30+M. But the company decided not to pay them but reinstall all their software and services and it costed them 100+M Lessons learnt: 1. Never bargain with hackers. It may not be the last one. Even though it is expensive, handle it proper way 2. Incompetence of tech support costed the company millions of dollars. So, You suckers out there who don’t know shit at work, keep in mind that your incompetence could cost millions if not billions of dollars to your company. So get your shit together TC 300K
I'm not sure what casinos pay their tech talent, but I've looked before and the wages seemed pitiful when compared with DoD, let alone SV firms. Sorry, but a bunch of dudes at 85k aren't going to have their shit wired tight enough to compete with hackers.
If companies retained competent talent we wouldn’t have seen large layoffs. Not saying one shouldn’t get their shit together because of this.
What lessons learned from the change healthcare hack
