Law Firm Cyberattacks Nearly Double as Stolen Files Reach Dark Web

Law firms sit on exactly the material that makes them attractive targets: confidential client files and live deal information, often the same documents that move crypto and RWA transactions. The near-doubling BakerHostetler recorded, alongside a confirmed dark-web leak at Greenberg Traurig, suggests the sector's exposure is structural rather than incidental — legal advisors are a soft entry point into their clients' deal flow. Whether firms treat this as an IT problem or a deal-risk problem is the open question, and clients comparing advisors may start asking about breach posture as routinely as they ask about conflicts.
