10.6 million MGM Resorts hotel guests data hacked
ZDNet reported that the stolen information was posted to a hacking forum and later MGM confirmed the attack took place to BBC.
The exposed data included names, addresses, and passport numbers for former guests.
A spokesperson from MGM said, "Last summer, we discovered unauthorized access to a cloud server that contained a limited amount of information for certain previous guests of MGM Resorts. We are confident that no financial, payment card or password data was involved in this matter."
According to ZDNet celebrities like Justin Bieber, Twitter founder, Jack Dorsey, were impacted.
MGM notified its customers based on state laws but most US states do not require companies to tell customers if they were hacked.
In 2017, Marriott Hotels had a data breach exposing 500 million guests' information.
