FBI Alerts Law Firms to Silent Ransom Group's Unique Data Theft Tactics
The FBI has issued a warning to U.S.-based law firms about the Silent Ransom Group, a cybercrime organization known for its unique approach to data theft. This group, believed to operate from Russia, targets law firms by impersonating IT support and, in some cases, physically visiting victims to gain access to computers. Unlike typical ransomware groups, Silent Ransom Group does not use encryption but relies on social engineering and in-person tactics to steal data. The group has been active since 2022 and has claimed responsibility for over 100 attacks, with a noticeable increase in activity recently.
