Who knew your browser tabs could become such a hotbed of cyber chaos? It seems like the web’s not just for cat videos and shopping anymore—now it’s a playground for the new kids on the block, Scattered Spider.

Time to lock down those browsers tighter than a jar of grandma’s pickles!

Key Points:

  • Scattered Spider focuses on browser-based attacks, targeting sensitive data and credentials.
  • They utilize techniques like Browser-in-the-Browser (BitB) overlays and malicious JavaScript.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever.
