According to an “ABA TechReport” the threat of a cybersecurity attack on law firms is at an all-time high. ABA Formal Opinion 483 starts with the following observation: “…the data security threat is so high that law enforcement officials regularly divide business entities into two categories: those that have been hacked and those that will be.” The report notes that same is likely the case for law firms.
Law firms are attractive targets for hackers because clients trust their lawyers with their most personal and valuable information. We hold everything from family secrets to details about financial assets and we must be vigilant, or we will inevitably expose this information and breach our duty of client confidentiality.
