Email encryption reduces the risk that extremely important personal information is going to be compromised or stolen. This is because the information contained within the email is obscured from the view of anyone other than the sender and receiver. Unfortunately, encryption can be frightening to some lawyers, which is why they don’t use it. However, it is becoming more a part of internet security because of the electronic processes it uses to protect data. It is now the time when all lawyers should have a general understanding of how encryption can benefit them.
Law Firms Should Tap Into External Cybersecurity Expertise By Chuck Brooks. Because of the growing threats and emerging technology challenges that increase risk to revenues and reputation, law firms should explore bringing in outside expertise from subject matter experts (SMEs) who understand the latest developments in technologies and compliance/governance directives in the cyber ecosystem.
SMEs for the legal community are especially important as the cyber threat includes various criminal enterprises and adversarial nation states. A change in the cyber risk environment has corresponded with heightened investments in threat awareness and information-sharing necessary for successful staying in business. SMEs are a particularly valuable component for evaluating the threat horizon and vulnerabilities. It can be a big benefit to bring in outside SMEs who can “think outside the box” and bring new perspectives. ABA Formal Opinion 477. Cybersecurity alert NY Bar .pdf.

There have been numerous law firms that have been hacked in the past few years, or worse, attacked with the double whammy of having copies of their files exfiltrated before their systems were encrypted.
What may surprise the public is how some of the bigger law firms refuse to pay ransom — either for a decryptor key or to get the threat actors to agree to destroy copies of any files they had acquired. As but one example, when Sodinokibi (REvil) threat actors attacked the entertainment and media law firm Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, they demanded $21 million. The law firm’s negotiators made a much lower offer, and the threat actors then doubled the demand to $42 million. When the law firm still didn’t pay, the threat actors tried auctioning off different celebrities’ files in bundles. Ransomware Attacks Hit Three Law Firms in Last 24 Hours. Five U.S. law firms — three in the last 24 hours — have been among the companies and organizations targeted by a new round of ransomware attacks.
In two of the cases, a portion of the firms’ stolen data has already been posted online, including client information. This according to Brett Callow, a threat analyst with Emsisoft, a cybersecurity company that is also an associate partner in the No More Ransom Project, an initiative between multiple law enforcement agencies and the private sector. Hackers have stolen data from at least five law firms, using the threat of releasing the data to extort payment from the firms, Callow said. In the two cases in which hackers already posted law firm data, they published it on the clear web where it can be viewed by anybody.
The hackers are using the so-called Maze ransomware, which was the subject of a warning issued to companies earlier this month by the FBI. The hackers infiltrate systems using email with malicious attachments, Callow said. Un e-learning pour vous initier au RGPD. YouTube est désactivé.
