A “cyber security issue” led to the shutdown of several casino and hotel computer systems at MGM Resorts International properties across the US, a company official reported Monday.
The incident began Sunday and the extent of its impact on reservation systems and casino floors in Las Vegas and states including Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York and Ohio was not immediately known, company spokesman Brian Ahern said.
The FBI is “aware of the incident,” the bureau said in a statement from its national press office. It characterized the event as “still ongoing” and did not disclose details.
MGM Resorts said in a statement that it had identified a “cyber security issue affecting several company systems” and that its investigation involved external cyber security experts.
The nature of the issue was not described, but the statement said efforts to protect data included “turning off certain systems.” It said the investigation was still ongoing.

A post on the company’s website said the site was down. It lists phone numbers to contact the reservation system and the property.
A post on the company’s BetMGM website in Nevada acknowledged that some customers were unable to log in.
The company has tens of thousands of hotel rooms in Las Vegas at properties including MGM Grand, Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, Aria, New York-New York, Park MGM, Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay and Delano.
It also operates properties in China and Macau.
