☆ 'Power, influence, notoriety': The Gen-Z hackers who struck MGM, Caesars
  + stars: | 2023-09-22 | by ( Zeba Siddiqui Raphael Satter | Zeba Siddiqui | Raphael Satter | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +6 min
The FBI is investigating the MGM and Caesars breaches, and the companies did not comment on who may be behind them. In some cases - Mandia did not say which ones - hackers tied to Scattered Spider placed bogus emergency calls to summon heavily armed police units to the homes of executives of targeted companies. ALPHV, which according to Mandiant is a "ransomware-as-a-service", would provide services such as a helpdesk, webpage and branding, and in turn get a cut of whatever Scattered Spider would make from the hack. While many ransomware attacks go unpublicised, the MGM hack was a vivid example of the real-world impact of such incidents. Ransomware gangs often function like large organizations, and continue to evolve their methods to adapt to the latest security measures organizations use.

☆ U.S. government says several agencies hacked as part of broader cyberattack

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly testifies before a House Homeland Security Subcommittee, at the Rayburn House Office Building on April 28, 2022 in Washington, DC. Several U.S. agencies have been hacked as part of a broader cyberattack that has hit dozens of companies and organizations in recent weeks through a previously unknown vulnerability in popular file sharing software. "CISA is providing support to several federal agencies that have experienced intrusions," he said. Charles Carmakal, chief technology officer of Mandiant, a cybersecurity company owned by Google whose clients include government agencies, said that he was aware of some data theft from federal agencies through the MOVEIt hacks. Wendi Whitmore, who leads threat analysis for the cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks, said that CL0P's campaign of hacking victims through MOVEIt was incredibly widespread.
