If I heard the name referring to a current company, I would think hotels/casinos/sportsbooks first. That said, the title could still be better.

Best guess is that with the F1 races coming soon with what is expected to be the largest cashflow through Vegas ever, that MGM Resorts IT found issues in an audit in preparation for that massive event, found anomalies, and pulled the rip cord to shut everything down till they could sort out what systems were actually hit.
That is materially different than a massive hack effecting all these various systems though.
Outlook handles their email.
> Thousands of guests at MGM Resorts in the Las Vegas strip have been locked out of their hotel rooms after the company was hit with a cyber attack, according to reports.
> MGM Resorts International has about 48,000 rooms on The Strip. The company's properties include Mandalay Bay, the Bellagio, Luxor and MGM Grand, among others.
> The outage, first detected on Sunday night, has affected company emails, reservations, booking, room keys and casino slot machines.

It's worth rewatching as a guilty pleasure, IMO. Feels quite alien compared to current fare. It's dumb but well-crafted, fun and glitzy and never takes itself too seriously. I miss that kind of show.
Surprisingly high production values for the time. It's available in 1080p with decent quality, somehow.

Unfortunately there's a lot of post-production steps that take place between the original film and the finished show. Since the 90s/noughties many of those steps take place in digital systems after the film has been scanned at the chosen resolution. Here's some detail specific to Babylon 5 and HD conversion, for example:

Though the article itself says details are scant, so it's just going to be speculation. I'd love to know what happened though.

...which doesn't eliminate them. Recent visits and timing would be impeccable.
Every day they are down is $$$$$$
