贝克·麦坚时告知得克萨斯州和加利福尼亚州检察长,该所在8月遭遇了一起数据安全事件。在致得克萨斯州的通知中,该所称此次入侵导致社会安全号码和其他个人信息泄露。该所致加利福尼亚州的通知称,一名网络犯罪分子“通过社会工程手段诱骗了我们的两名用户”,获取了少量文件。该所表示,“我们没有证据表明未经授权的行为者破坏了任何用户凭证或额外用户账户,且不存在对我们系统的独立恶意访问”。
Rights opens new tab WASHINGTON, Oct 29 - Two major law firms, Baker McKenzie and Troutman Pepper Locke, have disclosed cyber breaches to US state enforcement authorities, the latest incidents underscoring growing cybersecurity threats as attacks on law firms continue to rise.
特劳特曼在致加利福尼亚州的通知中称,该所在8月遭遇了一起社会工程攻击。“在互动过程中,该员工误将某些文件发送给了未经授权的人员,”该所表示。社会工程攻击可能涉及操纵他人泄露敏感信息或授予对安全系统的访问权限。
Baker McKenzie told the attorneys general of Texas and California that it suffered a data security incident in August. In a notice to Texas, the firm said the breach exposed Social Security numbers and other personal information The firm’s notice to California said a cyber criminal “socially engineered two of our users” to obtain a limited number of files. The firm said “we have no evidence that the unauthorized actor compromised any user credentials or additional user accounts, and there was no independent malicious access to our system"
拥有4000名律师、为全球最大律所之一的贝克·麦坚时,以及特劳特曼均未立即回应置评请求。总部位于亚特兰大的特劳特曼拥有逾1600名律师。网络安全公司CrowdStrike(众击)本周发布的新研究详细披露了针对律师事务所的攻击激增情况。该公司称,网络犯罪分子越来越多地利用智能体AI技术实施攻击。
Troutman said in a notice to California that the firm was targeted in a social engineering attack in August. “During the interaction, the employee mistakenly sent certain documents to an unauthorized person,” the firm said Social engineering attacks can involve manipulating people into revealing sensitive information or granting access to secure systems The 4,000-lawyer Baker McKenzie, one of the world’s largest law firms, and Troutman did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Atlanta-based Troutman employs more than 1,600 attorneys New research from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike this week detailed a surge in attacks targeting law firms.
