Scattered Spider’s Web: Cybercriminals Target Chipotle, Airlines, and More in Phishing Frenzy
Scattered Spider’s web of deceit now targets not just aviation, but also manufacturing, medical tech, and even Chipotle Mexican Grill. With 500 spoofed domains mimicking corporate logins, this gang’s social engineering attacks are as expansive as their ambition. Can you say “phish tacos”?

Time to keep your login credentials tighter than a burrito wrap!
