continues to hit U.S.-based law firms by impersonating IT support and, in some cases, visiting victims in person to gain physical access to computers, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic3.gov\/CSA\/2026\/260526.pdf\">FBI said in an alert<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The closed group, which likely operates from Russia and emerged in 2022 after Conti disbanded, has claimed responsibility for more than 100 attacks with activity surging during the past few months, according to researchers.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI\u2019s warning comes exactly one year after the agency released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic3.gov\/CSA\/2025\/250523.pdf\">previous alert<\/a> about Silent Ransom Group consistently targeting law firms since mid-2023. The group doesn\u2019t deploy encryption, but its dual use of social engineering and in-person visits for data theft is extremely rare with no known parallels across the vast cybercrime ecosystem, multiple experts told CyberScoop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were probably a lot of times that this failed before it started succeeding because there\u2019s a lot of trial-and-error involved,\u201d said Allan Liska, field chief information security officer at Recorded Future. Whereas other ransomware groups would rather move on to other tactics or targets, \u201cSilent Ransom Group has seen the value especially in going after law firms, and so they\u2019re willing to put the extra effort into it,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The data extortion group, which is also tracked as Chatty Spider, UNC3753 and Storm-0252, isn\u2019t as prolific as more high-tempo ransomware groups. Yet, it\u2019s having a noticeable impact due to its proven knack for attacking organizations in the legal sector.<\/p>\n<p>Halcyon tracked 134 ransomware incidents against law firms and legal services during the first quarter of this year, making it the fourth-most targeted industry accounting for more than 6% of all ransomware attacks the company tracked during the period. <\/p>\n<p>Silent Ransom Group and Inc, a ransomware-as-a-service operation dating back to mid-2023, are largely responsible for that uptick, said Cynthia Kaiser, senior vice president at Halycon\u2019s Ransomware Research Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSilent was the first group to really just be targeting law firms, and they\u2019ve targeted major law firms\u201d with a clear understanding of what\u2019s most problematic for organizations in that segment, she added. \u201cThe theft of data in and of itself is the biggest issue for the law firms, so they\u2019re tailoring a lot of their operations around what they know about the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Law firms are a rich target because data theft creates huge privilege and reputational problems, which creates the perception they might be more willing to pay high extortion demands, Kaiser said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Silent Ransom Group\u2019s social engineering scheme involves phone calls or phishing emails that urge employees to call one of the group\u2019s associates posing as IT support, the FBI said. If the group\u2019s attempt to gain access to the employee\u2019s computer via remote access tools fails, it sends an associate to the victim\u2019s location to physically attach a storage device to the victim\u2019s workstation. <\/p>\n<p>This extra step is unique and places Silent Ransom Group in a completely different mode of operation than its peers in ransomware and data theft extortion. Some aggressive data theft extortion groups have harassed and threatened executives and employees with physical violence, but in-person visits for data theft are extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Flashpoint has observed threat actors soliciting or co-opting both witting and unwitting insiders, we have not observed them physically sending attackers to victim locations. This tactic carries significant risk, as threat actors are able to use technology to obscure their real-world identities,\u201d said Ian Gray, vice president of cyber threat intelligence operations at Flashpoint. <\/p>\n<p>Joe Slowik, director of cybersecurity alerting strategy at Dataminr, said it\u2019s easy to question why potential victims would fall for this tactic. \u201cHowever, humans in the workplace need to implicitly trust others to get their jobs done,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuestioning everything, while seemingly desirable, introduces significant friction and distrust in workplace environments and limits productivity in arbitrary ways,\u201d Slowik added. \u201cCriminal entities will continue to prey on human weaknesses and dependencies for success, and placing the burden solely on employees to defend against this is unfair and unreasonable.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The FBI did not provide details about the people Silent Ransom Group uses to initiate the fake IT support calls or visit victims in person. Yet, with the group\u2019s operators based in Russia, researchers speculate gig workers or subcontractors are playing a critical role by placing voice-based phishing calls in a common language and visiting victims at their workplace. <\/p>\n<p>Liska said he\u2019s under the impression the group is using freelance taskers that don\u2019t necessarily know they are committing a crime. \u201cThey may be suspicious, but you know, they need the money,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s kind of like a Doordash person that delivers Arby\u2019s,\u201d Liska said. \u201cYou know you\u2019re doing really bad things to people, but you know what, they\u2019re paying you to deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.0172981878089\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"14\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fbi-warns-us-based-law-firms-to-be-on-the-lookout-for-cybercrime-group-that-steals-data-in-person-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Matt Kapko\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Matt Kapko<\/h4>\n<p> Matt Kapko is a reporter at CyberScoop.
