In this video, we break down exactly how the attackers infiltrated MGM’s network, how they used identity manipulation to bypass security protections, why their partnership with the BlackCat ransomware gang made this attack so destructive, and what the fallout means for the future of cybersecurity.
This is the full story behind the cyberstrike that brought Las Vegas to its knees.
