akiraThis record tracks a ransomware attack claimed by the akira group against Cohn Lifland Pearlman Herrmann and Knopf. It collects the publicly disclosed attack details — sector, location and timeline — as published on the operator's leak site and indexed by Breach House.
Window Zero
EXPOSURE GAPWindow Zero is the time the breach stayed in the open before anyone said so — the gap between when the attack was first discovered on the operator's leak site (t1) and when it was publicly disclosed (t2). The wider this window, the longer victims, staff and customers were exposed with no warning.
Attack Summary
These respected guys didn't seem to have much respect for their c lients, as a huge amount of personal information was almost unpro tected. We took 110 GB of files where a lot of client information can be found: passports, driver's licenses, birth/death certific ates, correspondence, addresses, contacts and more. There is also a lot of data about the firm in the form of financial statements and other documents, and many of them are confidential. The most interesting thing about this case is that these guys didn't want to pay even with an active cyber insurance policy. We will uploa d the files shortly.
