Silent Ransom Group "Call-back" Phishing Campaign
Arctic Wolf has observed an uptick in activity from the Silent Ransom Group, a cybercriminal group first identified in 2020 and notorious for its targeted cyber extortion campaigns driven by financial gain. This week, the group has been targeting the legal industry using “call-back” phishing tactics. The group sends emails impersonating services such as Duolingo or Masterclass, claiming a pending charge and urging recipients to call a phone number to resolve the issue.
