Recent news confirms that law firms have no immunity from attacks on their data. The April 5, 2011 Globe and Mail article Major law firms fall victim to cyber attacks by Jeff Gray describes the “highly sophisticated cyber attacks” on four major Toronto law firms. One preventative approach suggested in the article is moving servers to an off-site secure facility operated by a third party. More tips on prevention of data breaches can be found in the April 13, 2011 ABA Journal post, Experts Offer Tips for Safe Flying in the Cloud by Rachel M. Zahorsky.
