SCATTERED SPIDER is a prolific eCrime adversary that has conducted a range of financially motivated activities beginning in early 2022. Since surfacing, this adversary continues to compromise organizations around the world, deploying ransomware and exfiltrating sensitive files. As noted within the CrowdStrike 2025 Threat Hunting Report, SCATTERED SPIDER reemerged with a refined help desk social engineering playbook, impersonating employees with stolen PII, including SSNs and birthdates, to bypass verification processes.
