Title should be "MGM Resorts Suffers Cybersecurity Attack, System Outage" (following HN norms), or at least include "Resorts." MGM Resorts was spun out of the movie studio in like the 70s.
- sschueller 3y agoAgreed, I thought it had something to do with the on going actors and writers guilds strike.
- dylan604 3y agoI thought maybe it was hacking to get content. So at least the title instilled a bit of curiosity even if it wasn't the story I had imagined from just the headline
- basch 3y agoMGM is basically a defunct rights holding company. It’s made 5 movies in the last decade, including 2 Addams Family, 2 Max (dog movies), and a GI Joe, and the Addams Family movies were really Made by Universal. It’s also a name slapped on some other streaming app. If I heard the name referring to a current company, I would think hotels/casinos/sportsbooks first. That said, the title could still be better.

- bettercallsalad 3y agoDid not Amazon at some point buy or thought about buying up some of their business?
- BryantD 3y agoYep. Amazon bought MGM Holdings in March, 2022. The studio is the only meaningful portion of that. They’re no longer considered a major U.S. studio but they release 8-10 films a year.
- babyshake 3y agoYes, because I remember thinking that we would eventually be getting a bloated James Bond extended universe of shows (like Star Wars and Marvel) because of it.
- aquova 3y agoI don't really know where you're getting this number. By my count they've made about three dozen films this decade, including a James Bond film and Creed III.
- basch 3y agoYoure right that my list is wrong. Downside to HN not having editing and deleting, is I cant retract my misinformation. And I earned 7 votes for that nonsense. :/
- downrightmike 3y agoFurther proof: They have StarGate and aren't doing jack with that at all.
- RC_ITR 3y agoAmazon literally just bought them for $8bn https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/amazon-mgm-merger-close-1235207852/ https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/amazon-mgm-merger-close-123...
