Several major hotels in Las Vegas, including the Bellagio, were left with faulty door locks, inoperable slot machines and other problems Monday after hotel officials said they were hit with a cyberattack.
The FBI said it is investigating the attack on MGM Resorts International hotels early in this morning. The company said "it took prompt action to protect our system and data, including shutting down certain systems."
"Our investigation is ongoing, and we are working diligently to determine the nature and scope of the matter," MGM said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The company would not provide additional details of what was affected, however, it appeared to disrupt several key hotel systems.
