CMS, a prominent law firm, recently joined the roster of cyber attack victims, with its Spanish arm falling prey to a considerable data breach of its storage servers. The notorious ransomware group LockBit, which attracted widespread attention last month for breaching Allen & Overy’s servers, has been identified as the culprit behind this latest attack.
Intriguingly, experts speculated that to prevent the publication of confidential data after the breach at Allen & Overy, the firm would possibly have to disburse several million. One could only hazard a guess at the potential financial implications for CMS following this latest incident. Both the incidents serve as a reminder that even the most well-established and secure entities are not immune to the cyber threat landscape.
