It’s the second Las Vegas casino group to be attacked this week.
Paying the ransom is the stupidest thing you can do when you’re hit with an attack.
Why?
- Emboldens the attacker to keep attacking you because now they know you’ll pay them
- Funds the attacker’s future attacks
- No guarantee they’ll actually stop or recover your data
- No guarantee they’ve actually left your environment without a complete rebuild.
A better use of ransom money would be to invest in a decent cybersecurity infrastructure to prevent this from happening in the first place, and to keep offsite backups.
**Never trust your attacker. **
What’s to stop them from just selling it on the Dark Web anyway?
Reputation for the next hack.
Oh no! Anyways.
I have no sympathy for those that make money from exploiting gamblers.

A post about hacking from a user named ZeroCool. Yep, checks out. Heh
Sounds like a great target.
Going after Vegas Casinos is funny but probably a bad idea for your long term health. Those kinds of people get pretty grumpy when you steal from them.
