- FBI: Get to know your IT guy – extortion crews are visiting law firms pretending to be tech support
The FBI warns U.S. law firms about Silent Ransom Group (SRG), an extortion crew using callback phishing and in-person attacks to steal sensitive data. SRG impersonates IT staff to gain remote access or physically infiltrate offices, using USB drives to copy files for ransom. The group has targeted legal firms since 2022, exploiting the sector's sensitive data.
