According to Odaily Planet Daily, British police have arrested 19-year-old Thalha Jubair, accused of being a member of the hacker group Scattered Spider. Since May 2022, the group has allegedly launched cyberattacks against over 100 organizations and extorted over $115 million in ransoms, of which approximately five companies paid $89.5 million. The FBI has seized $36 million in digital assets from wallets controlled by Jubair. Investigations revealed that Jubair's activities were exposed when he used ransom money to purchase game gift cards and food delivery. His victims included key institutions in the US federal court system. (Cryptopolitan)
