On November 25, 2025, law firm Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp, known as MSK, appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group SilentRansomGroup. The firm, established in 1908, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. While the exact number of people whose data may have been exposed remains unknown, any client, employee, or vendor whose information passed through the firm could be affected.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates that internal files were taken. The listing appeared on the group's leak site on November 25, 2025. MSK provides legal services across entertainment, media, technology, and other sectors, meaning the compromised data could include contracts, correspondence, financial records, and personal details of individuals and families who engaged the firm. No confirmed total of victim counts or specific data types such as Social Security numbers has been publicly detailed yet. The incident follows the group's typical pattern of exfiltrating data before encrypting systems and later threatening to publish it.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a law firm like MSK suffers a breach, the information exposed often belongs to ordinary people — clients who trusted the firm with sensitive family, financial, or employment matters. If your documents were part of those internal files, the details could be used to target you with identity theft, phishing, or more sophisticated scams. Your family members' information may also be linked through shared addresses, phone numbers, or joint accounts. Even if you never directly hired the firm, vendor records or employee data can still place you in the chain of exposure.
Credential leaks from incidents like this frequently cascade into account takeovers elsewhere. A password or email address taken from one service can unlock access to banking, email, or social media accounts that hold far more personal data.
