The Justice Department complaint alleges the Scattered Spider cybercriminal group conducted at least 120 intrusions from 2022–2024, extorting at least $115M from dozens of victims (including multi-million-dollar ransoms) and compromising a U.S. federal courts network using social-engineered helpdesk password resets to take over admin accounts, exfiltrate personnel data, and encrypt systems; law enforcement traced servers, cryptocurrency wallets and Telegram accounts to an arrested suspect, recovered seized crypto assets, and coordinated international investigative actions.
