Attack summary

Severity: high — A family law firm handles highly sensitive personal information including divorce proceedings, custody arrangements, financial disclosures, and personal matters of clients. Even without explicit confirmation of data exfiltration, access to such a firm's systems puts substantial regulated PII and privileged legal communications at risk. The firm's clientele includes high-net-worth individuals, compounding sensitivity.

Eclipse claims to have accessed The Zhou Law Group's systems. The leak post does not specify whether data was encrypted, exfiltrated, or both, nor does it detail what specific data categories are at stake.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by ECLIPSE means The Zhou Law Group appeared on a ransomware extortion site and data attributed to it has been published. If this is your organisation, or a supplier you depend on, the priority is to confirm the intrusion and contain it before the window to act closes.

  • Engage your incident-response team and preserve forensic evidence before remediating — do not wipe affected systems first.
  • Force a password reset and revoke active sessions for exposed accounts; rotate any credentials, API keys or certificates that may have been in the stolen data.
  • Assess regulatory notification duties (GDPR, NIS2, sector regulators) — many carry a 72-hour reporting clock from awareness.
  • Report the incident to your national CERT, CISA (United States), as required for your jurisdiction.
  • Monitor for the data appearing on ECLIPSE's leak site and across paste and breach channels, and brief downstream partners who may be exposed through you.

How we know this. Darkfield monitors public ransomware leak sites continuously, archiving every new disclosure and the data later released against the victim. Each entry on this page is sourced from the operator's own publication and cross-checked against complementary OSINT feeds (RansomLook, ransomware.live, RansomWatch). We do not collect or host stolen data — only the metadata, timestamps and screenshots needed to make the public disclosure searchable and accountable. Records here are corrected when the original post is edited, retracted, or merged with another disclosure.
