MGM Resorts Sues FTC Over Cyberattack Probe, Alleges Due Process Violations

MGM Resorts International has filed a lawsuit against the FTC and Chair Lina Khan, claiming a conflict of interest and due process violations in the investigation of a 2023 cyberattack.

MGM Resorts International is suing the FTC and its chair, Lina Khan, over an investigation into a cyberattack that disrupted the company's operations last September.
The lawsuit claims that Khan should recuse herself due to a conflict of interest, as she was at an MGM property during the attack and could be a witness.
MGM argues that the FTC's rules do not apply to it as it is not a financial institution, and it seeks to have these rules declared unconstitutional.
The company is also seeking to stop the FTC from issuing a civil investigative demand, which requires the production of extensive information, unless Khan disqualifies herself.
MGM alleges that the FTC's refusal to recuse Khan violates the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause.
