The FBI has faced challenges in disrupting the 'Scattered Spider' hacker gang, responsible for breaching companies like MGM and Caesars. Victims' lack of cooperation and internal coordination issues hindered the FBI's efforts. The agency also dismantled the IPStorm botnet and arrested its operator, Sergei Makinin, as part of a plea deal, after the network compromised over 23,000 proxies. The FBI's struggle to make arrests for the September attacks on MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment was highlighted in a report. Additionally, three young hackers, creators of the Mirai cyberweapon, worked for the FBI after losing control of their creation, which caused a major internet outage in 2016.
