Seriously? More of *this* crap?

Okay, fine. So some chuckleheads at SANS dug up a bunch more domain names linked to Scattered Spider – you know, the script kiddies who are basically professional nuisances now. Apparently they registered like 70+ domains, mostly using cheap registrars (shocker). They’re probably gonna use ’em for phishing, credential harvesting, and general maliciousness. It’s all the usual garbage: typosquatting, lookalike domains trying to snag unsuspecting idiots.

The interesting bit? They’re *still* using infrastructure that’s easily detectable – like, come on, are these guys even trying? And they’re reusing tactics. It’s pathetic. They’ve been observed targeting organizations in the education, defense, and technology sectors. Like those aren’t obvious targets. Honestly, it makes me question the intelligence level of anyone falling for this.

The SANS folks provided a list of domains (you can go look yourself, I’m not doing your work). They suggest blocking them, monitoring for related activity, and generally being aware that these clowns exist. Like you *weren’t* already supposed to be doing that.

Basically, it’s a reminder that Scattered Spider hasn’t gone anywhere, they’re still annoying, and basic security hygiene is your best defense. Don’t click suspicious links, use MFA, and for the love of all that is holy, train your users! Is this really news? I swear…

And another thing…

I once had a user click a link that said “Free Pizza!”. Seriously. Free. Pizza. After I explained, for the fifth time, what phishing was, they looked at me and asked if the pizza was still free. Some people are beyond help. It’s why these groups keep succeeding.
