Considering the $100 million loss at MGM and the $500mm loss at Clorox, it makes total sense that they are going after them especially considering their private equity owners actively avoided their risk management duties.

Additionally as a government contractor, they should hope they don’t get hit with a FCA suit as well considering the DOJ is looking for whistleblowers in cybersecurity.

Hopefully the first of many, so that security starts be taken seriously across all phases from software development.
Let's do Microsoft next.
