Happy Friday! We’re back with another Weekly Threat Roundup—a carefully selected compilation of must-read articles on the newest threats in the cyber world. Each week, we dive into the most pressing #cybersecurity news to bring you the insights you need to stay informed. This week, we focus on the notorious cyber gang UNC3944, known as Scattered Spider, which has shifted its tactics to target #SaaS applications and #cloud environments like VMware vSphere and Microsoft Azure. This group has moved from traditional #ransomware attacks to data theft and extortion, often using social engineering to gain access to high-privilege accounts. They manipulate corporate help desks to reset multi-factor authentication (#MFA) and passwords, and if social engineering fails, they may resort to threats and intimidation. UNC3944 uses compromised credentials to deploy virtual machines within victim infrastructures, leveraging tools like Okta, #VMware's vCenter, and various SaaS platforms to maintain persistent access and conduct malicious activities. Organizations are advised to enhance monitoring of SaaS applications and centralize logs to detect potential compromises quickly. 💡 Stay informed on evolving threats by subscribing to our Weekly Threat Roundup: https://hubs.li/Q02CS1DS0 #infosec #WeeklyThreatRoundup
