Fake Websites for Four Biglaw Firms Might Have Been Created to Get Deal Information
“Fake websites for four large law firms created in 2008 might have been part of an attempt to get insider information on pending Wall Street deals, according to newly declassified FBI documents,” reports Debra Cassens Weiss in ABA Journal’s Cybersecurity News.
“The targeted law firms were Greenberg Traurig; Sullivan & Cromwell; Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz; and Cravath, Swaine & Moore.”
“Sullivan & Cromwell told the FBI that it thought the scammer was trying to intercept email with information about mergers and acquisitions.”
