Law Firm
Law firms are especially attractive targets for cybercrime due to the sensitive nature of their work, which requires them to handle large amounts of highly confidential client data.
In fact, in the case of which at one time was the world’s fourth largest provider of offshore financial services, shut its doors after a data breach revealed that it had helped 140 politicians from 50 countries evade taxes. Governments around the world recovered more than $1 billion using documents the hackers released to journalists. Forbes claims the firm had very weak information security, including running old versions of key software that was riddled with vulnerabilities.
Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, a top entertainment law firm, lost an estimated 756 GB of sensitive client information to a cyberattack. The firm’s clients include Barbra Streisand, Lady Gaga, U2, Robert de Niro, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sony, among many additional A-list firms and stars. The hackers released a portion of one of Madonna’s contracts to prove they had the data and give credibility to their ransom demand. In an interview with Variety, one security analyst characterized the release of Madonna’s information as “the equivalent of a kidnapper sending a pinky finger,” to show they have the goods and are serious about acting on their threats.

Data Breaches
Are one of the most common risks from the exposure and theft of confidential and/or sensitive information and data from Legal Professionals and Law Firms for a multitude of purposes that can include financial gain, to retaliate and many other reasons. Usually, these types of attacks are conducted from a remote location and point of entrance would be through your firm’s computers or smart devices located at your office location, or even your portable computer locations.
Ransomware
Cyber-criminals hold files and data hostage for a fee/ransom and basically shutting down and locking your operating systems until the fee or ransom is paid then the cyber-criminals will restore your operating system, data and files. This is one of the most problematic cyber incidences faced by any organization or law firm.
Phishing/Keylogger/Masked Emails
Is when the cyber-criminal sends a fake/scam email and/or instant message to an individual(s) in hopes that they will reply to the fake request of information or by clicking on a link or downloading a “document” that could contain a virus or Keylogging abilities. Larger Law Firms with high volume email traffic are more vulnerable to this type of risks. Some emails appear to be from a recognizable sender but in fact the cyber-criminal has masked the true sender’s email identity.
Recent Years
Supply Chain Attacks at Law Firms
Law firms have also been victims of supply chain attacks, as we’ve mentioned in a previous post.
“97% of companies have been negatively impacted by a cybersecurity breach that occurred in their supply chain,” according to Ericom Blog.
2017
A ransomware attack on DLA Piper, one of the largest law firms in the world, crippled the company’s servers and email. The firm detected the malware quickly, before client data was believed to have been compromised. However, operations were severely impacted: Email was down for six days, and older documents were inaccessible for almost two weeks. Insurance industry brokers estimated the firm’s direct and indirect costs were “in the millions.” The firm’s IT department put in 15,000 hours of paid overtime to get back on track.
2020/2021
Accellion breach, started as a vulnerability in firewall equipment and became a global breach of confidential corporate and personal information.
Accellion is a firewall vendor. Cybercriminals used vulnerabilities to install a backdoor to the company’s File Transfer Appliance (FTA) which allowed them to steal data from the networks of the victims.
Healthcare organizations, including the US Department of Health and Human Services are thought to have been the most impacted by this Supply Chain Attack, although many other organizations were also hit including the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, Bombardier, Stanford University, Royal Dutch Shell, and the Jones Day Law Firm.
