Legal practices are targets for cyberattacks
Cybercrime is predicted to lead to the biggest transfer of wealth in human history. In Australia cyber security incidents have been estimated to cost businesses up to $29 billion per year. Legal practices are attractive targets because they act on high value funds transfers, hold confidential and sensitive information.
