🕷️ No hacking. No code. Just a phone call. In June 2025, the cybercrime crew Scattered Spider strolled into THREE of America's biggest insurers — Erie, Philadelphia Insurance, and Aflac — in just 5 days. How? They called the help desk, played "locked-out employee," and asked for a password reset. 🤯 💥 The fallout? [Aflac Insurance's](https://www.liveinsurancenews.com/virginia-regulators-aflac-rates/8571195/) breach exposed 26.5 MILLION people. 20+ lawsuits followed. Then — one year later — they got hit AGAIN. ⚠️ The wildest part? Experts SAW it coming. Google's threat team warned the industry... and were right. 🎯 Why insurers?
