It has become increasingly apparent in the past few years that there is an overwhelming need for law firms to have better cybersecurity in order to safeguard client and firm information from the risk of loss from a cyberattack or ransomware. Many are now struggling as breaches in firms have made headlines recently and attorneys’ clients are increasingly asking questions about firm security. If you think you aren’t susceptible you are mistaken!
Cyber Attacks on Law Firms
Law firms, even more so than many other businesses, cannot afford to fall victim to cyberattacks, the most common of which are malware, phishing, ransomware and denial of service attacks. As a matter of fact, details have recently been released about a first class-action lawsuit against a law firm for inadequate security measures. A complaint was filed, Shore v. Johnson & Bell. and alleges that the law firm engaged in “systematically exposing confidential client information and storing client data without adequate security.”
