Mercenary hackers increasingly are targeting law firms in a bid to steal data that could tip the balance in legal cases, French and British authorities say, echoing a Reuters investigation that uncovered the phenomenon last year. In a pair of reports published over the past week, the cyber watchdog agencies of France and the United Kingdom cataloged an array of digital challenges faced by law firms, including threats posed by ransomware and malicious insiders. The London-based National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) said in its report published on June 22 that it was increasingly seeing "hackers-for-hire" brought in "to gain the upper hand in business dealings or legal disputes."
