Mandiant CTO chats to The Reg about the looming fate of this ransomware crew
The cyberattacks against Las Vegas casinos over the summer put a big target on the backs of Scattered Spider, the suspected perps, according to Mandiant CTO Charles Carmakal.
The Google-owned security biz has been tracking the loosely knit crew of suspected teens and twenty-somethings - believed to be located in the US and UK - since 2022 when they kicked offMGM Resorts' hotel and casino biz for a week, raised the stakes and turned law enforcement's attention to the predatory arachnid-themed crew.
The FBI has indicated that prosecutors are getting closer to charging people involved in the digital intrusions linked to Scattered Spider. "There have been some arrests," Carmakal told us, and while he won't put a timeline on when he expects to see any suspects being hauled into court,"I do anticipate we will eventually hear good news." ®
