It expects to also incur less than $10 million as a related one-time cost in the quarter ended on Sept.

Sources earlier told Reuters AlphV worked with another outfit named Scattered Spider to break into MGM systems and steal data to hold for extortion. The MGM data breach, which the FBI is investigating, is a vivid example of how large organizations remain vulnerable to cybercrime. Analysts who have tracked Scattered Spider say more and more organizations have been falling for the group’s skilled social engineering schemes. The company expects the breach will have a negative impact of about $100 million to its adjusted property core profit for its Las Vegas Strip division, and expects total occupancy of 93% this October versus 94% in the same month a year ago.

Mass gaming revenues have bounced back to pre-COVID levels, however, analysts said, citing a recovery of more than 100%, although earnings in the coveted “big-whale” VIP category was an estimated 15% of before.

During the eight-day national holiday, which runs until Friday, the number of daily visitors has surged more than five times from last year, taking hotel occupancy rates beyond 90%, executives said, speaking on condition of anonymity. MGM said it is “well-positioned” to have a strong fourth quarter with record results in November, driven mainly by a Formula One racing event slated to take place in Las Vegas.
