Scattered Spider Arrests Slow the Storm — But Copycat Hackers Keep the Threat Alive The recent arrests of members of Scattered Spider offer a welcome pause in their attacks, but it’s far from the end of the story. Copycat actors continue to use the same sophisticated social engineering tactics — phishing, MFA bypass, SIM swaps — to breach even well-defended organizations. For security teams, this is a rare window to reassess defenses. Now is the time to: Review incident response plans, trengthen social engineering defenses, Tighten access controls & network segmentation, Monitor hypervisor environments like VMware ESXi, Expand employee training against real-world attack scenarios No single tool or control can guarantee safety. True resilience comes from a layered defense strategy that combines technology, processes, and people — supported by continuous threat intelligence.

Critical Microsoft SharePoint Vulnerability Requires Immediate Action Microsoft has released urgent patches for a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) flaw in SharePoint (CVE-2025-53770), already being actively exploited in the wild. Attackers are chaining this with other known vulnerabilities to gain persistent access—even bypassing MFA and SSO protections. This isn't just another patch cycle. It’s a wake-up call for organizations running on-prem SharePoint. From unsafe deserialization risks to identity control bypasses, the attack surface is growing. And with SharePoint integrated deeply into Microsoft 365 (Teams, OneDrive, Outlook), the potential for lateral compromise is serious. Patching is necessary—but it’s not enough. What’s needed is a layered defense approach: 1. Timely patching and configuration 2. Identity and access monitoring 3. Endpoint detection and response 4. Threat-informed incident readiness 5. Forensic visibility and containment planning
