MGM Resorts International reported that it was the target of cybersecurity attacks in July 2019 and September 2023, in which outside intruders may have accessed the personal information of its guests. Several class actions were filed across Canada seeking compensation, including the Thandi action in British Columbia (covering the 2019 incident) and the Zuckerman and Dahan actions in Quebec.
MGM denies all the allegations and any liability, and no court has found it responsible. To avoid the cost and delay of continued litigation, the parties agreed to a proposed settlement of $4,000,000 that resolves all of these Canadian class actions. The settlement still needs court approval before any claims process opens.
