VMware ESXi Targeted in Ongoing Scattered Spider Attack Campaign

The threat group Scattered Spider is actively exploiting vulnerabilities in VMware ESXi hypervisors, leveraging compromised credentials and known flaws to gain privileged access. ESXi instances running outdated versions are particularly vulnerable, with reports indicating successful deployments of ransomware and data exfiltration tools.

Impact: Potential for widespread VM disruption, data theft, and ransomware deployment in enterprise environments.
Mitigation: Apply ESXi patches immediately, enforce strict credential hygiene, and segment critical VM networks.
