Cybercrime and ransomware

News

02 September 2021

We have regularly warned of the dangers of cybercrime and the risks for law firms and their clients.

According to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), a solicitor firm has recently been hit by a phishing scam, while a barrister chambers has been infiltrated by ransomware.

The centre is therefore urging as many firms as possible to sign up for its free early warning scheme, which warns of potential cyber-attacks on your network, as soon as possible.

The NCSC has more information on the service, including how to sign up.

It has also written a blog on how to avoid getting caught out by ransomware.
