Scattered Spider has gained notoriety among security professionals following its connection to various cyber attacks, particularly the major disruption of M&S systems. The group, which has claimed responsibility for several high-profile incidents, was previously involved in a devastating ransomware attack on MGM Resorts, highlighting its growing threat. Despite a recent legal crackdown resulting in charges against its members, Scattered Spider remains elusive due to its diverse and decentralized nature, complicating efforts to combat its activities. Other retailers have reported incidents that, while less severe, are raising alarms in the cybersecurity community.
The emergence of Scattered Spider as a highly aggressive cyber criminal group has left security teams on high alert, particularly following their involvement in significant attacks.
Stefan Hostetler describes Scattered Spider as a geographically diverse and loosely knit group of threat actors, complicating efforts to address their activities.
