Crowdstrike Services Observes Scattered Spider Escalate Attacks Across Industries
CrowdStrike, July 2,2025
CrowdStrike Services details SCATTERED SPIDER techniques used in attacks targeting the aviation, insurance, and retail sectors and shares guidance for organizations to defend against this threat.
SCATTERED SPIDER, an eCrime adversary, has recently broadened its target scope to include the aviation sector, in addition to its established focus on the insurance and retail industries, as observed by CrowdStrike Services.
Throughout Q2 2025, SCATTERED SPIDER's activities have primarily centered on U.S.-based insurance and retail entities, along with U.K.-based retail entities. However, incidents in late June 2025, specifically targeting U.S.-based airlines, demonstrated tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) consistent with the adversary's previous operations.
