FBI Warns of Scattered Spider's Evolving Cyber Threats to Critical Sectors

The FBI warns organizations not to reset passwords in response to attacks by the threat group Scattered Spider, which uses social engineering and spearphishing to manipulate support staff into resetting passwords and transferring MFA tokens. Recent ransomware attacks attributed to Scattered Spider may actually be linked to the group ShinyHunters, highlighting collaboration among cybercriminals. Additionally, the FBI warns against scanning QR codes in suspicious packages, as they can facilitate financial fraud and malware installation.
