## [Feds charge 5 hackers tied to notorious Scattered Spider group — here's how they stole from big companies](https://nypost.com/2024/11/20/business/feds-charge-5-hackers-tied-to-notorious-scattered-spider-group-heres-how-they-stole-from-big-companies/) Scattered Spider has been blamed for unusually aggressive cybercrime sprees, targeting major multinational companies as well as individual cryptocurrency investors. US prosecutors unveiled criminal charges on Wednesday against five alleged members of Scattered Spider, a loose-knit community of hackers suspected of breaking into dozens of US companies to steal confidential information and cryptocurrency. Martin Estrada, the US Attorney in Los Angeles, said the defendants conducted phishing attacks by sending bogus but real-looking mass text messages to employees’ mobile phones warning that their accounts would be deactivated. #hackers #unitedstates #scatteredspider #technology #data #crypto

I believe this is the time for government and leaders to have an eye on cybercrimes and crypto laundering. The crypto industry is booming beyond expectations Newbies are coming, first impression for the industry is important for adoption

Security experts and officials have said Scattered Spider is composed of small clusters of people, including youngsters, who collaborate on-and-off on specific jobs. The group has been blamed for unusually aggressive cybercrime sprees, targeting major multinational companies as well as individual cryptocurrency investors. Some experts previously complained about law enforcement’s apparent inability to crack down even though the identities of some suspects, including several living in Western countries, were known, industry insiders told Reuters last year.

The hackers, in their teens or 20s at the time, allegedly directed employees to links for entering log-in information, enabling the hackers to steal from their employers and millions of dollars of cryptocurrency from individuals’ accounts. Victims allegedly included at least 12 companies in the gaming, outsourcing, telecommunications and cryptocurrency fields, plus hundreds of thousands of individuals. Estrada’s office confirmed that the case concerned Scattered Spider. No victims were identified by name.
