The company has since decided to “temporarily put some of its out -of -service systems” as part of its “proactive management of the incident”. “We are working hard to restore normal availability throughout the site,” she said this Wednesday quoted by the Guardian. In just over a week, the brand’s market value has dropped more than 600 million pounds sterling.

According to the Guardian, it is the group of Hackers Scatotered Spider who has already made himself known in the past for attacks against the hotels and palace of the American group MGM Resorts and the Casinos Caesars in particular.
