This episode of the Technology Risk Podcast we explore the rise of youth-led cybercrime—and how teenage hackers are outsmarting some of the world’s largest companies. Meet Scattered Spider, a group of highly skilled, college-aged cybercriminals behind major breaches at airlines, insurers, and retailers. Using tactics like SIM-swapping, social engineering, and impersonation, they’re bypassing sophisticated defenses and exposing costly corporate vulnerabilities. We dive into why these attackers are so effective, what makes them different, and how your organization can fight back. From identity verification protocols to Zero Trust architecture and simulated attack training, we break down practical steps to strengthen your defenses.
