| Data leaking more than 10 million guests in global hotels |
In a hacker forum online this week, MGM Hotels & Resorts released personal information to more than 10.6 million former clients, including singer Justin Bieber and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
According to ZDNet Technology News, published details include full name, home address, phone number, passport number, email address, and date of birth. Target groups include characters such as (Jack Dorsey) as well as ordinary tourists, journalists and FBI agents.
ZDNet has announced that it has checked data with security researchers from the data breach monitoring service.
MGM owns and operates luxury resorts in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Detroit and other parts of Japan and China. Las Vegas Resort attracts thousands of guests to watch UFC boxing matches and battle fights.
A MGM spokesperson said the information came from a security incident last year after MGM found unauthorized access to a cloud server that contained limited information about some of the previous MGM Resorts prisoners, and the disclosed information might not be available.

The spokesman said MGM is confident that financial statements, payment cards or passwords will not be disclosed during the security incident and that the disclosed data will not contain any information about customers being registered in the complex after 2017.
MGM said that most of the stolen data was public, such as names, phone numbers, and email addresses, and that about 1,300 former clients were informed that more confidential information, including passport numbers, had been disclosed, while 52,000 other clients were told. That leak contained information. A less sensitive personality.
Despite the scale of the security incident, it is not the biggest accident in the hotel industry in recent years. As 2017 Marriott Hotel data was violated, Chinese hackers stole data from 500 million customers.
