A phone rings at MGM Resorts' IT help desk. The caller sounds like an employee. He isn't. Ten minutes later a stranger holds the keys to a $30 billion casino empire, and within hours slot machines freeze, hotel keys die, and the Las Vegas Strip grinds to a halt. This is the true story of the 2023 MGM and Caesars cyberattacks. The $100 million hack pulled off not by elite hackers but by teenagers from a shadowy online network called The Com. How they talked their way past the most secure industry on earth, why one casino paid a $15 million ransom while the other refused, and how the FBI finally hunted them down, one airport at a time. Then drop your chapters under that once you have the final edit timed out.
