FBI issues alert on cyber actors impersonating IT personnelÂ
The FBI has released an alert on a cyber threat group called the Silent Ransom Group, which has targeted healthcare and other industries in recent years using social engineering tactics. The group, which is also known as Luna Moth, Chatty Spider and UNC3753, has impersonated IT support staff through phone calls and phishing emails. The FBI said the group has been active since at least 2022. The alert includes indicators of an attack and recommendations to defend against the group.
