Wynn hasn’t yet confirmed the breach or shown evidence of paying the ransom; however, the cyberhackers shared small samples to prove that the attack is real.

It’s believed that ShinyHunters is connected to Scattered Spider, the organization that took credit for breaching MGM’s system in 2023.
Effective from mid-2026, Wynn Resorts has appointed Craig Fullalove for the company’s new CFO position as part of a planned leadership transition within its finance function....
