A hacker is selling details of 142 million MGM hotel guests on the dark web | ZDNet
The MGM Resorts 2019 data breach is much larger than initially reported, and is now believed to have impacted more than 142 million hotel guests, and not just the 10.6 million that ZDNet initially reported back in February 2020 .
The new finding came to light over the weekend after a hacker put up for sale the hotel's data in an ad published on a dark web cybercrime marketplace.

Data Viper is the brainchild of Vinny Troia , a security researcher who runs a cyber threat intelligence company called Night Lion Security . Since its inception in 2018, Data Viper has billed itself as a “threat intelligence platform designed to provide organizations, investigators and law enforcement with access to the largest collection of private hacker channels, pastes, forums and breached databases on the market.”

Here is the interesting bit: devs hid a message in the packman file showing their desire to recruit hackers and cheaters who came across this while trying to tamper with the files.
Valorant devs have hidden this message (or rather job offer) in a file called Stubs.dll. This file is a part of the game’s anti-tamper system. There is a group of hackers who reverse engineer games and find out its vulnerabilities to create cheats for the game and sell it. They were one of the first to come across this message back in April, along with some online players. They posted this on a popular forum for cheaters. The message reads as follows:

Amidst a torrent of indecipherable technobabble ( He's burned through the firewall! This is DOD Level 9 encryption! ), the pair begin to fight back. Eventually, they end up typing simultaneously on the same keyboard. It is—for lack of a better term—ludicrous.
