"US firm Weil Gotshal is the latest law firm to fall victim to a cyber attack after it was reportedly forced to pay a ransom in the double-digit millions to prevent the publication of confidential client data.
According to The Insurer (£), Weil paid between $18 and $20 million (£13 and £15 million) to cyber extortion group Luna Moth, who threatened to publish stolen confidential client data to an external cloud storage site.
Whilst Weil has not commented on whether it coughed up the cash, the report claims it paid the amount within three days of the demand. In a statement, a firm spokesperson said:
“Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP recently responded to a cyber incident involving a threat actor and the unauthorized uploading of a limited number of client documents to an external cloud storage site. Upon discovering the incident, we immediately activated our response protocols, took preventative containment measures, and launched an investigation with the support of third-party cybersecurity professionals. We also notified law enforcement.”"
