Cyber Reputation
Overview
Cybercrime is not confined to stealing electronic data. Cybercriminals are now targeting corporate reputations in cyberspace. Their malicious online activities—sometimes conducted by competitors, third-party organizations, and unknown persons masking their identities—are becoming more prevalent.

We litigate tough First Amendment, “anti-SLAPP,” Communications Decency Act, Stored Communications Act, and unknown defamer issues with innovation and creativity. We coordinate our counseling and defense efforts across multiple practice groups such as Litigation, Torts, Retail and Consumer Products, and Regulatory groups.

Crowell & Moring Represents Microsoft, LF Projects, Seize Illicit Websites and Combat Cybercrime
Washington — Dec. 3, 2024: Crowell & Moring represented Microsoft and LF Projects in seizing 240 fraudulent websites linked to an Egypt-based criminal organization. On November 21, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia unsealed a temporary restraining order against Abanoub Nady (known online as “MRxC0DER”) and John Doe Defendants (collectively the “Fake ONNX Defendants”), who developed, sold, and implemented “do it yourself” phishing kits under the predominant brand names “ONNX” and “Caffeine,” among several others. In selling these kits under the ONNX name, the cybercriminals misappropriated and misused the “ONNX” trademark, which is owned by LF Projects. LF Projects uses the ONNX name and logo in connection with the Open Neural Network Exchange, a platform that enables interoperability between AI models throughout the tech industry. Numerous cybercriminal and online threat actors purchased these kits and used them in widespread phishing campaigns to bypass additional security measures and break into Microsoft customer accounts.
