Group Behind Casino Hacks Skilled at Duping Workers for Access

Known as Scattered Spider and UNC3944 , the group caused a web of chaos this week after launching a cyberattack at MGM Resorts International .

The cyberattack resulted in downed websites and slot machines and staffers to check people into hotel rooms manually.

Caesars paid tens of millions of dollars to the hackers who broke into the company’s systems and threatened to release data.

The exact nature of the relationship between Scattered Spider and ALPHV isn’t known.

A representative of the group said the groups have worked together multiple times.

The representative boasted that the groups were just getting started.

The group’s ransom demands are all over the map, he said.
