FBI Issues Alert Regarding Covert Ransomware Group Targeting Law Firms through Phone Scams
The FBI has issued a warning to law firms regarding a malicious group known as Silent Ransom. This organization employs sophisticated tactics, including phishing emails and fraudulent IT support calls, to infiltrate systems and steal sensitive data. Following the data breach, they demand a ransom from affected entities, threatening to leak stolen information if their demands are not met.
Law firms are particularly vulnerable, given the valuable nature of the data they handle. The FBI emphasizes the importance of vigilance in recognizing potential phishing attempts and fraudulent communications. Victims of these attacks are strongly encouraged to report any ransom-related evidence to the authorities.
By sharing intelligence on these incidents, organizations can assist in the identification and apprehension of criminal actors, thereby enhancing the overall security posture of the legal sector.
