Teen Surrenders in 2023 Las Vegas Casino Cyberattack

A teenager has surrendered to Las Vegas authorities in connection with the 2023 cyberattacks that crippled MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment. The attacks, using vishing, resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. The suspect faces six felony charges and prosecutors are seeking to try him as an adult. The arrest is part of a larger FBI investigation that has already indicted four other individuals. While MGM refused a ransom demand, suffering approximately $100 million in losses, Caesars reportedly paid a portion of a ransom demand and experienced less disruption.
