In early June, the Five Eyes intelligence partnership agencies (ASIO, CSIS, the FBI, MI5 and NZSIS) released a joint bulletin, Safeguarding Our Secrets. It warns that Chinese intelligence officers are posing as recruiters and consultants for fake companies based outside China, using professional networking sites and job platforms to reach people with access to sensitive information. The method is pretty routine, patient, and ordinary. The approach has evolved from large-scale

A man walked into a US law firm pretending to be IT support. Once inside, he spoke Russian into his smart glasses, likely streaming a live view of the office computers to the people who sent him...in real time. CNN reported this week on the Silent Ransom Group. The pattern is the part worth analyzing. When hacking from a distance becomes more difficult or opportunity strikes, bad actors are able to send people directly into the building. Hired cyber criminal hands, inside the

A new study from Presage Global and household management platform Nines is the subject of recent industry coverage examining why ultra-high-net-worth families remain exposed despite heavy spending on estate security.

Three former Big Law associates have been indicted in connection with an alleged insider trading scheme that prosecutors say spanned nearly a decade, involved dozens of transactions, and distributed confidential information from some of the nation's most respected law firms to a network of traders. The allegations are noteworthy because the firms involved had many of the security controls one would expect: document management systems, ethics walls, monitoring protocols, and c

Three security developments worth a family's attention: 1. Four jailed in France over a crypto-investor kidnapping. Prosecutors in Mulhouse charged four people over the May abduction of a 25-year-old who had spoken about his cryptocurrency investments. He was held, threatened and pressured into transfers totaling roughly €14,000 before being released. It was the third crypto-linked kidnapping in the Alsace region in recent months. 2. A law firm's breach went unnoticed for ten

So we put together a short list of plain-language questions a trusted advisor can use. Not to diagnose. Just to open the door. Here’s a few to get you started: → When did you last sit down and walk through who has ac

Some of the most serious security threats to family offices come from within — employees, contractors, vendors, and even family members. Our white paper, Combating Insider Threats in Family Offices , examines these critical vulnerabilities and provides a roadmap for developing comprehensive insider threat programs. As the report highlights: "Insider threats can come from a variety of sources, including employees, former employees, contractors, vendors, and family members. The

The urgency of helping family offices, businesses and executives with security and knowable risks has arguably never been more prominent.

In a recent interview with Family Wealth Report, our CEO Edward Marshall discusses the critical need to elevate security and risk management services: "We think that in

Recent high-profile attacks on corporate executives have put physical security at the top of the C-suite agenda. The World Security Report reveals that nearly half of security chiefs from large global companies say the threat of violence toward executives has increased in the last two years. In a recent interview with Family Wealth Report, our CEO Edward Marshall warns against a "dangerous paradox" in executive security: "While security technology budgets may be rising, many

With multi-trillion-dollar wealth concentration and lean IT infrastructure, family offices have become prime targets for sophisticated cyber attacks—from AI-powered phishing to deep fakes and social engineering scams. In a recent article on Mr Family Office, our CEO Edward Marshall discusses how families often unknowing
