"Law Firm to the Fortune 500 Breached with Ransomware"

Campbell Conroy & O'Neil, P.C., a U.S. law firm to many huge companies, put out a press release that an intruder may have accessed their client's data. The law firm was hit with ransomware in February and is now suffering the data-breach fallout. Some of the law firm clients include Apple, Boeing, British Airways, Chrysler, Exxon Mobil, Fisher-Price, Ford, Honda, IBM, Jaguar, Monsanto, Toyota, and US Airways. Campbell did not mention which ransomware gang claimed responsibility. None of the big ransomware groups had claimed the breach as of Tuesday morning. Campbell's ensuing investigation hasn't yet determined if the unauthorized threat actors got at specific information, but the law firm does know that the adversaries could have gained access to a treasure trove of sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) belonging to certain individuals. The information that could have been accessed includes names, dates of birth, driver's license numbers/state identification numbers, financial account information, Social-Security numbers, passport numbers, payment card information, medical information, health insurance information, biometric data, and/or online account credentials.
