Summary

The FBI has issued an alert about a known hacker group calling and emailing law firms, pretending to be tech support workers.

Who Is at Risk

Anyone who works at or runs a law firm — including receptionists, paralegals, and attorneys — is currently being targeted.

What to Watch For

An unexpected phone call or email from someone claiming to be from “IT support” or “tech help” asking to access your computer or verify your login information.

What to Do

If you receive an unsolicited call or email from someone claiming to be IT support, hang up or ignore it and verify their identity by calling your company’s official IT department directly using a number you already know.
