Jones Day has confirmed a cyber attack linked to the Silent Ransom Group which accessed files related to 10 clients. The firm described the incident as a “phishing incident” where an “unauthorized third party accessed a limited number of dated files.” All affected clients have been informed, but the firm has not disclosed their identities. Hacker group Silent specifically targets American law firms, stealing data and extorting them, according to a 2025 FBI alert. The hackers take advantage of the “the highly sensitive nature of legal industry data,” according to the FBI.
