Scattered Spider, a group of young hackers, has become one of today's most immediate and disruptive cyber threats, targeting major industries including retail, insurance and aviation with sophisticated social engineering and ransomware attacks. The group is notorious for tricking IT help desks to gain access to internal systems by posing as employees.
