I happened to be in Vegas during this. It was weird. Parking at the MGM was free because they had no way to take credit cards.

Rumor was that Caesars was hit by the same group, and paid the ransom.

As a reminder, these attacks are overwhelmingly carried out by Russian gangs, and are only possible because of crypto. See https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/ransomware-problem-bitc... for more.
