Hackers Target Major U.S. Financial Firms Using Phone-Based Attacks

Ransom-seeking hackers have targeted several prominent U.S. financial institutions and businesses using phone calls to compromise their security. According to data reviewed by Reuters, these hackers have focused on private equity firms and financial companies, including Blackstone, Bridgewater Associates, Apollo Global Management, Bain Capital, KKR, TPG, CME Group, Clearlake Capital, and Moody's. The hackers created websites designed to steal passwords from employees of these firms.

Some companies have reportedly paid ransoms, although it is unclear which firms were successfully compromised.
