The attacker collective is looking for female voices to be used in its new vishing campaign.
Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters (SLH), a cybercrime group, is seeking women to assist with its social engineering, a manipulation technique that tricks people into divulging sensitive information.
The group shared the proposal on Telegram on the 22nd of February that it’s looking to recruit women for its voice phishing (vishing) campaign.
For this work, SLH offered to pay from $500 to $1,000 per call up front, “depending on your success and hit rate,” reported Dataminr, a company specializing in AI-powered real-time event, threat, and risk intelligence.
One of SLH’s Telegram boards states that women interested in making some money “will be asked a series of questions before [they’re] accepted.”

The message also explains how women can “audition” for the role.
“Send us a voice message to start off saying 'hi i want to work' no weird shi,” says the group.
It also added that SLH will provide them with a script of what to say to the helpdesk.
The idea behind using a female voice is that the group could deceive IT help desk staff, which is trained to identify attackers, by throwing them off with a voice that doesn’t necessarily fit the usual attacker profile.
Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters was formed in 2025 by three leading threat actors: Scattered Spider (UNC3944), LAPSUS$, and ShinyHunters, with the main goal of achieving financial gain.
SLH achieves this through bypassing multi-factor authentication and targeting help desk staff to gain initial access.

Among its victims are companies such as Google, Adidas, Cisco, Disney, Home Depot, and more.
Last year, after attacking Salesforce, the hacker group also claimed to have breached Dell, Verizon, Telstra, Lycamobile, and Kuwait Airways, releasing data samples on Telegram.
At the beginning of this year, the SLH group boasted that it had gained full access to Resecurity, an American cybersecurity company, systems. Nevertheless, that appeared to be a honeypot that lured the attackers with fabricated data.
This outcome helped security researchers to get the attackers’ IP addresses and even “identify the actor and link one of his active Gmail accounts to a US-based phone number and a Yahoo account.”
