Is there any credible info that this really was a hacking?
Yup. It was a hacking.

MGM Resorts recently identified a cybersecurity issue affecting some of the Company’s systems. Promptly after detecting the issue, we quickly began an investigation with assistance from leading external cybersecurity experts. We also notified law enforcement and took prompt action to protect our systems and data, including shutting down certain systems. Our investigation is ongoing, and we are working diligently to determine the nature and scope of the matter.

Sonantine is a hacker right?
As of about 9pm:
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/12/mgm-...em-outage.htmlThe initial shutdown impacted nearly every aspect of the casino operator’s business. Reservation systems, booking systems, hotel electronic key card systems, and the casino floors were all apparently impacted by the outage.
The company’s email systems were also apparently taken down in response to the cybersecurity issue, and have not yet come back online.
The company said that as of Monday evening, their casino floors were back online. But the reservation systems that power their thousands of hotel rooms and the booking system that controls reservations for their restaurants are apparently still down, more than a day after the first reports of the incident began to circulate.
Gigantic fail on MGM's part.
They should have essential systems (such as electronic keys) which can run in an offline mode, just in case this sort of thing (or some outage) occurs. Same thing with the electronic ticket voucher system.
And the fact that restaurants can't operate in a manual reservation mode is just LOL.
Honestly, both the hotel reservation system and dining reservation system should also have an offline mode, where they operate away from the network using the last current data before being taken offline. That would still prevent new reservations for the hotel being made, but at least existing reservations would be usable, and the restaurants can operate manually like they did in the 2000s.
They made everything too dependent upon this central system controlling everything, which is a huge mistake in cyber security.
It would be like connecting all of your lights in your house to an app-controlled system, and then removing all of your manual light switches because you don't need them anymore. It's that stupid.
lots of spirited discourse re whose responsible.
my best guess is lapsus$.
