The FBI has issued a warning about the Silent Ransom Group, which has been actively targeting law firms since Spring 2023 using social engineering techniques such as callback phishing. This method involves spoofing well-known businesses to trick victims into disclosing sensitive information under the guise of canceling a subscription. With many staff members out during the Memorial Day holiday, many firms may have missed this crucial warning. The legal sector remains a prime target due to the nature of its sensitive data.
"The FBI recently warned that the Silent Ransom Group is targeting law firms using sophisticated social engineering techniques, making them riskier than ever to the legal sector."
"Callback phishing emails exploit trust by spoofing reputable businesses, prompting targets to unknowingly provide sensitive information that can lead to egregious identity theft or fraud."
