A 17-year-old was arrested in the U.K. in connection with a global investigation into the cybercriminal ecosystem known as “the Com” (tracked as Scattered Spider), which has been tied to major ransomware attacks including the September 2023 MGM Resorts incident that cost the company over $100M; the report details the group's use of ALPHV/BlackCat, RansomHub and Qilin, links to phishing and SIM-swap credential theft, and multinational law enforcement cooperation that led to the arrest.
