What's the MGM Data Incident Class Action Settlement?
MGM Resorts has settled a $45,000,000 class action lawsuit and is paying consumers $75, $50, $20, or up to $15,000 as a result of the class action. The settlement was reached against MGM Resorts International due to two data incidents. The class action alleged that MGM Resorts did not take appropriate actions to safeguard consumer data, resulting in a leak to malicious hackers. MGM has not admitted to any wrongdoing but has agreed to pay $45 million to their customers and move on without allowing the lawsuit to go to trial.
The two data breach events at MGM Resorts International occurred in July 2019 and September 2023, where unauthorized individuals accessed customers' private information, including names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, drivers' license numbers, military identification numbers, passport numbers, and Social Security numbers.
