The cyberattacks on MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment demonstrate the significant impact that data breaches can have on an organization's operations, reputation, and finances. The attackers in these cases used social engineering techniques, such as impersonating an employee, to obtain login credentials. These attacks highlight the vulnerabilities of relying on legacy sign-in credentials like passwords and SMS one-time passcodes, which can be easily exploited.

To address this cybersecurity threat, stronger and more secure sign-in credentials are needed. [Extracted from the article]
