What are the warning signs of a potential Scattered Spider attack?

Key warning signs include unusual password reset requests, particularly those claiming urgency or coming from unfamiliar communication channels, employees receiving unexpected multi-factor authentication prompts, requests for remote access that bypass normal approval processes, and social engineering attempts that demonstrate detailed knowledge of company structure or personnel. Additional indicators include phishing attempts using company-specific terminology, requests for credential verification outside normal procedures, and communication that creates artificial time pressure or urgency.
