  • サマリー

  • What happens when a group of Gen Z hackers picks up the phone — and takes down billion-dollar corporations without writing a single line of malware? In this episode of Cypher Tech Hacks, Alex Cipher unpacks the jaw-dropping story of Scattered Spider, a social engineering crew that breached MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment using nothing but charm, confidence, and a phone call.

    We break down the step-by-step playbook of how these attackers:

    • Used LinkedIn and open-source intel to pick their targets
    • Social engineered help desks into resetting multi-factor authentication
    • Hijacked employee phone numbers with SIM swaps
    • Escalated privileges and deployed remote access tools
    • Pulled off millions in ransom demands — and got paid

    You’ll learn how the hack worked, what made it so effective, and most importantly — how you can defend against similar attacks. Because sometimes, the weakest link isn’t the software — it’s the human answering the phone.

    If you’re in IT, security, or just love a good cyber-heist, you don’t want to miss this one.
