Scattered Spider, a ransomware collective, is expanding its target scope beyond UK firms to include US retailers.
Google's Threat Intelligence Group warns US retailers to be cautious as Scattered Spider, linked to group UNC3944, is targeting multiple firms after a long hiatus.
Scattered Spider operates within a larger hacking community called 'the Com' and engages in various cyberattacks, with previous victims including notable companies like Nike, Twitter, and more.
In response to attacks, UK's NCSC has issued guidance for better defense against Scattered Spider, urging the retail sector to enhance security measures.
