Law enforcement arrested a 22-year-old alleged member of Scattered Spider; the report details the group's shift from SIM-swapping and credential harvesting to sophisticated social-engineering, Okta permission abuse, targeting of CyberArk and SaaS applications, use of cloud sync tools (Airbyte/Fivetran) for exfiltration, and evolving ransomware/data-extortion activity that has impacted over 100 organizations since May 2022.
