It also makes you wonder WHO the hackers are.
Are they a national group? A competitor? Another casino?
Or
A foreign government or a foreign entity ... which begs the question ... if it came to light that it was a hostile government ... would it be classified as an act of provocation or even war?
For hacking a casino? A private business unrelated to any US domestic or foreign interests?
Not a chance in hell it would be an act of war. Businesses get hacked by China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran all the time. Hell, China hacked the US Office of Personnel Management and stole the security clearance records for 22 million people in 2015 and even that wasn’t declared an act of war.
If an adversarial government hacking the US military and stealing security clearance records isn’t an act of war, a bunch of rich mobsters having their casinos hacked sure as shit ain’t.
No one is going to war over a casino breach, now if they got Boeing or Lockheed or Raytheon and it’s proven to be the Russian state doing it then there’s a possibility but that would still be unprecedented to start a war over a cyber attack
