Next, the Scattered Spider cybercriminal group shifts focus to European retail, using social engineering tactics and freelancer networks to target help desks and employees for credential theft. Finally, a massive data scraping incident exposes 1.2 billion Facebook records on dark web marketplaces, including names, emails, birthdays, and phone numbers.
