This week’s security news bites: Twitter to open-source recommendation algorithm, new
assistant Secretary of Defense for cyber won’t be proposed till year end, tis the time for IRS
email scams, Italy bans ChatGPT – at least temporarily and DEA paid US companies’
employees to steal data and open parcels. Read the details here.
Companies hire law firms from time to time. And, companies often share sensitive data
with them. Law firms are a hot target for hackers for that reason. Many law firms don’t
have great security practices. Have you risk-assessed the law firm you are considering
engaging? You might want to do that. I bet New York Presbyterian Hospital (see above)
wishes that they had done a risk assessment before hiring the law firm they hired. If your
law firm gets hacked, it is a double whammy. You get to pay them AND you get to deal
with the breach. Need help assessing a law firm? Please contact us.
