Where the confusion starts
A white-collar defense firm noticed a corporate witness named in a public filing appeared on CyberCriminal beside unrelated ransomware IOC text. Scrapers merged two databases into one profile.
The witness was a CFO preparing an IPO. Board members forwarded the link before anyone read the underlying JSON dump.
Sensitive removal with counsel involved
We coordinated with outside counsel so dispute letters did not create new public filings. Evidence packages emphasized role separation and timestamp mismatches.
Law firms should audit client names before closings, not after Reddit threads appear.
Outcome and monitoring
CyberCriminal delisted the profile in nine business days. Google search removal cleared three mirror snippets ranking for the CFO's name.
