"Silent Ransom Group Ramps up Callback Phishing Attacks, FBI Warns"

The FBI warns of a callback phishing scam by the Silent Ransom Group to gain initial access to organizations targeted in a recent ransomware campaign. In callback phishing attacks, threat actors email employees at a target company, demanding payment for a fake account and instructing them to call the gang's call center to resolve the problem. Once the victim calls, the threat actors use social engineering techniques to trick them into installing malware on their computer, granting the group initial access to the target organization. Callback phishing is an appealing method for ransomware groups to gain access to the networks of organizations whose data they want to steal and encrypt because it poses little risk of detection, is inexpensive to perform, and quickly produces results. This article continues to discuss the callback phishing scam carried out by the Silent Ransom Group.
