MGM Resorts' computers are back up and running after 10 days, while analysts examine the effects of casino cyberattacks.

MGM Resorts successfully resolved a 10-day computer shutdown that aimed to protect sensitive data, such as hotel reservations and credit card processing, from a cyberattack. The casino giant announced on Wednesday that all their hotels and casinos are now functioning without any issues. Analysts and academics have been evaluating the impact of this incident while MGM Resorts expressed their satisfaction with the return to normal operations through a post on X, the platform previously referred to as Twitter.
 
A cyberattack forcing a 10-day shutdown at a huge company like MGM Resorts must have come with big financial losses. I hope they can use what they learned to better defend their systems going forward so customers aren't inconvenienced next time.
