Scattered Spider is a cybercriminal group that has been targeting large organizations' sensitive data, compromising networks within corporations like MGM Resorts and Casinos.
Once broken into the system, Scattered Spider affiliate hackers incorporate malware to monitor networks and extract data using legitimate software tools in a tactic known as 'living off the land.'
'The proceeds from those ransom payments...is going to be leveraged to...be reinvested into additional operations that target additional entities to include very often the same victims who had already paid,' a senior FBI official said.
