UPDATE: Maze Hacker Group Targets Texas Law Firm Again

“UPDATE: The hacker group Maze has re-listed the Texas law firm Baker Wotring on its site under the heading “full dump” and has now released the firm’s data. The data includes pain diaries from personal injury cases, fee agreements, HIPPA consent forms, and more. Baker Wotring once again declined to return requests for comment.

Maze had taken Baker Wotring’s name off its list late last week, leading to the conclusion that the firm paid the hacker’s ransom. The republishing of the firm name and the data dump suggest otherwise.

Maze, the ransomware software and hacking group, has removed Texas law firm Baker Wotring from its “client” site, signaling that the 10-lawyer litigation firm may have opted to pay cybercriminals to halt publication of potentially sensitive data.”

Recent Ransomware Attacks

The Recent Ransomware Attacks (RRA) site acts as a watchtower, providing you with near real-time ransomware tracking of attacks, groups and their victims. Given threat actors’ overarching, lucrative success so far, ransomware attacks have become the most ubiquitous, and financially and informationally impactful cyber threat to businesses and organizations today.

The site’s data is generated based on hosting choices of real-world threat actors, and a handful of other trackers. While sanitization efforts have been taken, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of the data. Attack updates will be made as source data is reported by reputable sources. By viewing, accessing, or using RRA you acknowledge you are doing so at your own risk.
