Silent Ransom Group’s Targeting of Law Firms: A Wake-Up Call for the Legal Industry

โš–๏ธ Law Firms Under Siege: Silent Ransom Group’s Sophisticated Attacks

๐Ÿ“ข The FBI has issued a warning about the Silent Ransom Group (SRG), also known as Luna Moth, targeting U.S. law firms with advanced social engineering tactics.

๐Ÿ“ง SRG sends phishing emails disguised as subscription invoices, prompting recipients to call a number where attackers impersonate IT support.

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Victims are guided to install remote access tools like AnyDesk or Zoho Assist, granting attackers control over their systems.

๐Ÿ” Once inside, SRG exfiltrates sensitive legal data and demands ransom payments to prevent public disclosure.

๐ŸŽฏ Law firms are prime targets due to the confidential nature of their data, making them more susceptible to extortion.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ To defend against such threats, law firms must invest in employee training, implement strict access controls, and develop comprehensive incident response plans.
