In this special episode of Hacking Humans, while Joe and Maria take a well-earned summer break, we’re joined by a special guest host: Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker. Rob dives into the tactics and profile of the cybercriminal group known as Scattered Spider—a crew that’s gained notoriety for its cunning use of social engineering over traditional hacking techniques. Known for being young, agile, and highly manipulative, Scattered Spider has successfully bypassed security measures not by breaking systems, but by fooling the people who use them. Tune in for a fascinating breakdown of how this group operates and what you can do to defend against them. A listener caught this catch of the day on campus—an email claiming a “salary increase” and urging them to click a sketchy link. It came from outside the company, was riddled with grammar issues, and asked for info HR should already have.
