In this urgent episode of The Cyber Resilience Brief, host Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley, Offensive Security Engineer at SafeBreach, break down the shocking manifesto released by Scattered Spider — also known as Lapsus$ and ShinyHunters — the same threat group now linked to the Jaguar Land Rover cyberattack that’s suspected to have Russian ties.

As geopolitical tensions rise and Russia’s hybrid cyber warfare intensifies, Scattered Spider’s public “declaration of war” marks a chilling shift: from quiet ransomware operations to open intimidation of Western governments and Fortune 500 companies.

Tova and Adrian unpack how this group combines social engineering, identity theft, and psychological warfare to paralyze organizations — and how companies can fight back using Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) and Continuous Automated Red Teaming (CART).
