From DarkReading.com, Kelly Jackson Higgins presents the case that law firms are increasingly targeted for digital attacks. Why so? Mergers, bankruptcies, trade secrets, criminal defense of prominent figureheads or celebrities, intellectual property... these are all some of the first reasons that pop into my head. Think, for a minute, about the types of data which might be housed on law firms' servers. This article gives a laundry list of reasons and examples, particularly mentioning the APT (or Advance Persistent Threat). Higgins continues to showcase examples of technical reasons why many law firms are targeted, including a soft security culture. Not surprisingly, most companies/persons make security a priority once they've had an incident. Good read.
