That I hadn't known. But if you follow the trail, Scattered Spider had the hard ransomware work done by ALPHAV, also known as Black Cat, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackCat_(cyber_gang) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackCat_(cyber_gang). And THEIR developers and money launderers are linked to DarkSide, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DarkSide_(hacker_group) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DarkSide_(hacker_group). Which is based in Russia. So basically a bunch of young Western men participated in the social engineering. But the real computer knowhow and methods of getting paid trace right back to Russian criminals who are willing to work with them.
