Profile narrative
Spid3r is a hacker group linked to the Anonymous collective and based in the United States of America. The group has used phishing and social engineering to obtain internal data from a Roblox employee, leaking a 4GB archive in an extortion attempt against the company. Spid3r has also claimed responsibility for a breach of Russia's Space Research Institute, stating the action was retaliation for Killnet's DDoS attacks on Lithuania and Norway and that stolen data would be released publicly. These activities show targeting of corporate gaming platforms and Russian state space institutions, with objectives ranging from financial extortion to hacktivist disruption. The group's affiliation with Anonymous is publicly cited, while no state sponsorship or criminal consortium is explicitly attributed to Spid3r in the provided sources.
