"In this video I discuss how MGM and Cesar's Entertainment Resort/Casinos were hacked by a ransomware group and had sensitive customer data and company data exfiltrated from their servers. So far Cesar's Entertainment has paid half of the 30 million dollar to keep files from being released by MGM has paid nothing and the hackers are threatening to ruin MGM's reputation with a data leak."

Gambling is a disgusting industry that preys on the stupid.

It should be illegal. Or taxed to a fucking standstill and beyond, with all that tax money going straight to education budgets.

Yes to taxing, no to illegality. It's not as if gambling was better when the mob ran it.

Not on the stupids, on the addicts.

if it's taxed more, wouldn't that just make them worsen the chances to compensate?
