A 22-year-old British national suspected of leading the Scattered Spider hacking collective was arrested at Palma airport; investigators allege the group used phishing, SIM swapping and MFA fatigue to access networks, steal sensitive data and seize cryptocurrency wallets from roughly 45 U.S. companies, netting about $27 million, and authorities confiscated his laptop and phone for forensic analysis while links to Scattered Spider/BlackCat remain unconfirmed.
