Scattered Spider and Other Criminal Compromise of Outsourcing Providers Increases Victim Attacks

Attackers including the Scattered Spider group are targeting business process outsourcing (BPO) providers to gain access to multiple client organizations simultaneously. Compromising outsourcing providers creates a multiplier effect, allowing attackers to move laterally across numerous client environments from a single intrusion point.

Why it matters: Organizations using BPO providers face indirect exposure to attacks on their vendors; security teams should review access controls and monitoring for third-party connections to detect lateral movement from compromised outsourcers.
