The cybersecurity system break-ins this month of casino giants MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment shatter a public perception that casino security requires an “Oceans 11”-level effort to defeat it.

        They are literally run by cartels for money laundering.

          While both Mafia ties and money laundering were true, these days the strip is almost completely corporate owned, which is somehow worse.

                  You really are keen on calling it a mafia.

                    I mean it is, call it religion or whatever but that doesn’t make it less of a Mafia/Cartel

      They don’t operate in good faith and take advantage of people. Fuck them. Good on the hackers/thieves. Nobody is crying that casinos lost money.

        While I’m not crying over casinos losing money, I don’t agree with praising the hackers, either. Stealing from the bad doesn’t automatically make you good.

        Hopefully the hackers use the money for something that benefits a lot of people.
