Caesars Entertainment Scattered Spider ransom payment (2023)
Scattered Spider impersonated a Caesars employee on a call to a third-party IT support vendor and convinced the vendor to grant Okta credentials, then exfiltrated customer loyalty data including SSNs and driver's licences. Caesars paid roughly $15 million ransom; the FBI later froze a substantial portion of the funds with Chainalysis assistance.
