McCarter & English Investigates Network Security Incident

“McCarter & English is actively investigating a network security incident that “impacted the availability of [its] computer systems” last week, highlighting the vulnerability midsize law firms face in the current volatile cybersecurity environment. Leaders at the New Jersey-based firm said they were able to restore key systems in the week after the incident occurred the weekend of April 9, including access to email. Lawyers’ ability to perform services to clients was “not significantly impacted,” the firm said in a statement.”

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.
