‘Scattered Spider’ hackers could be behind UK retail attacks, police say | BBC News


The National Crime Agency (NCA) has named the notorious cyber-criminal collective Scattered Spider as a key part of their investigation into a recent wave of cyber attacks on UK retailers.

M&S has been hit with ransomware, which has scrambled the company’s servers rendering computer systems useless, while a huge amount of customer and staff data was stolen and held ransom from Co-op.

The group of hackers is believed to comprise young people, some of them teenagers, and are known to be native English speakers.

There has speculation they have been involved in the UK retail hacks – but this is the first time the police have confirmed that possibility is being actively investigated.
