Scattered Spider, ShinyHunters, and LAPSUS$ are the three groups involved, and have collectively been the most active of the major cybercrime gangs over roughly the past year. The groups all had prior ties via "The Com," a broader collection of cyber criminals that loosely affiliate and come together for singular projects in a fluid way.
The U.S. Department of Justice has charged five members of the cybercrime gang Scattered Spider for related cyber attacks affecting numerous individuals and organizations, including Okta, Caesars Entertainment, Twilio, DoorDash, MailChimp, Reddit, and Riot Games.
The US Department of Treasury and the UK’s Foreign Office have sanctioned 11 Russian nationals for their role in Conti ransomware and TrickBot cybercrime gangs.
