The MGM attack: What can be learned for your business

Hackers have allegedly stolen 6TB of data, including sensitive personal details, from MGM’s loyalty program members via a social engineering attack. They tricked the IT desk into granting them network access by pretending to be an MGM employee found on LinkedIn. Experts recommend MGM develops a remediation plan, informs customers, conducts an attack analysis, and trains staff to prevent such incidents. They also advise all companies to take similar action to prepare for potential cyber attacks.
