Yet, the legal sector has found itself squarely in the crosshairs of cybercriminals. Whether you are a sole practitioner on the high street or part of a global firm, you hold exactly what attackers want: sensitive data, confidential case files, and access to significant financial transactions.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The risks are real. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has issued hundreds of\u00a0scam\u00a0alerts in the last year alone, and\u00a0nearly three-quarters\u00a0of the UK\u2019s top 100 law firms have reported being affected by cyber-attacks.
