We know what you did last summer: MGM's hotel spinoff lost 10.7m guest records and now they're on hacker forums

Casino and hotel chain MGM Resorts lost almost 10.7 million guest records last summer, including the data of Jack Dorsey and Justin Bieber, which was duly posted to hacker forums.

According to soon-to-be-launched leak tracker Under the Breach, which spotted the post this week, the records included email addresses along with names, phone numbers, addresses and dates of birth.

MGM Resorts admitted the hack to ZDNet, which confirmed the accuracy of the records by contacting customers and confirming the dates of their visits to the relevant hotel.

Trips by Canadian pop-warbler Bieber, Twitter boss Dorsey and Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Administration staff were all slurped.

The hotel company said: "Last summer, we discovered unauthorized access to a cloud server that contained a limited amount of information for certain previous guests of MGM Resorts."
