Silent Ransom Group’s Targeting of Law Firms: A Wake-Up Call for the Legal Industry
⚖️ Law Firms Under Siege: Silent Ransom Group’s Sophisticated Attacks
📢 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.
📧 SRG sends phishing emails disguised as subscription invoices, prompting recipients to call a number where attackers impersonate IT support.
