Welcome to #cybertiptuesday ! If you're like The Hangover's Stu and joined the Caesar's or MGM's reward program, you need to be on alert for your personal private information potentially being exposed. Caesar's confirmed that driver's license and social security numbers of rewards members were copied during their recent cyberattack. Though they paid an undisclosed amount (rumors say $15M) to not have the data leaked, it is more of a 'pinky promise' that the threat actors won't expose the data. At this point, MGM hasn't confirmed what was breached and stolen but cyber attackers are claiming they have the same data and are threatening to leak it if they aren't soon paid. To help #protectyourself against identity threat, we recommend subscribing to a service like Symantec LifeLock to monitor your private information. Caesar's is currently offering a free identity service to those members that may have been exposed (call 888-652-1580 to signup) and it is assumed that MGM isn't far behind. #trainyourstaff #socialhacking #defeatedin10minutes
