BlackCat/ALPHV reportedly encrypted more than 100 MGM ESXi hypervisors

The BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware group claims to have breached MGM’s infrastructure, encrypting over 100 ESXi hypervisors and extracting data from the network with ongoing access. The group is threatening additional attacks unless MGM pays a ransom, a strategy similar to the recent attack on Caesars where millions were paid in ransom. The attacks have raised the importance of post-incident investigations, a solid defense system, and understanding the evolving nature of cyber threats.
