MGM Resorts says was victim of data breach last year

U.S. casino operator MGM Resorts International said on Thursday it was the victim of a data breach last year after an earlier report claimed that details of over 10.6 million hotel guests had been compromised.

"Last summer, we discovered unauthorized access to a cloud server that contained a limited amount of information for certain previous guests of MGM Resorts", a company spokesman said in an emailed statement.

No financial, payment card or password data was involved in the incident and the guests affected were notified, according to the statement.
