Whitepaper - What is Scattered Spider and Why Should you Care?
A whitepaper on Scattered Spider, a top-tier threat group behind attacks on MGM Resorts, Qantas, and more. Known for social engineering, SIM swapping, MFA bypass, and ransomware, they show why identity-focused attacks are the future of cybercrime. Overview

Scattered Spider is a top-tier threat group behind high-profile attacks on MGM Resorts, Qantas, and others. Rather than relying on exotic exploits, they win through people, using social engineering, SIM swapping, MFA bypass, and ransomware to get in and stay in.

This whitepaper looks at what makes the group so effective and why their identity-focused approach points to where much of cybercrime is heading. It is a clear look at why the human and identity layers now deserve just as much attention as the technical ones.
