Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft Suffers Cyberattack
“Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft fell victim to a cyberattack on Nov. 16 that prompted it to wipe the hard drives of firm-issued computers and take many of its internal systems offline—including email, document management, remote desktop access, and Wi-Fi and phone networks. Weeks later, the firm’s internal document management system remained offline, according to internal emails from managing partner Pat Quinn obtained by The American Lawyer. An attorney with knowledge of the situation provided evidence that some documents were unrecoverable for an extended period of time and potentially lost for good, contradicting a firm spokesperson’s statement that Cadwalader had made a full recovery by the end of the year. The firm also declined to answer specific questions about the hack, including whether any client data had been accessed or encrypted by the hackers.”
Recent Ransomware Attacks
The Recent Ransomware Attacks (RRA) site acts as a watchtower, providing you with near real-time ransomware tracking of attacks, groups and their victims. Given threat actors’ overarching, lucrative success so far, ransomware attacks have become the most ubiquitous, and financially and informationally impactful cyber threat to businesses and organizations today.
The site’s data is generated based on hosting choices of real-world threat actors, and a handful of other trackers. While sanitization efforts have been taken, we cannot guarantee 100% accuracy of the data. Attack updates will be made as source data is reported by reputable sources. By viewing, accessing, or using RRA you acknowledge you are doing so at your own risk.
