Caesars reportedly paid millions to stop hackers releasing its data | It’s the second Las Vegas casino group to be attacked this week.::Caesars Entertainment reportedly paid “tens of millions of dollars” to hackers who threatened to release company data.
If hackers are gonna extort, I definitely prefer it’s the casinos they’re extorting
I wonder if this is a good decision - you have to be very afraid of the publication of this data to pay millions to blackmailers without being sure that they won’t be at your door again soon.
It also makes you wonder WHO the hackers are.
Are they a national group? A competitor? Another casino?
Or
A foreign government or a foreign entity … which begs the question … if it came to light that it was a hostile government … would it be classified as an act of provocation or even war?
