Cyber threats are on the radar for most law firms in their overall risk
management, yet many lack in their preparedness against a significant event, Marsh’s 2014 Global Law Firm Cyber Survey reveals.

For law firms, protecting the confidential data of clients and the firm is
imperative as any unintended leak of information related to intellectual
property or a prominent legal case can be disastrous. A security breach could potentially harm business transactions, halt a pending merger or acquisition, or damage relationships. Furthermore, firms could face financial burdens associated with the expenses following a breach.
First-party costs can mount from notification expenses, business
interruption issues, or preparing a regulatory defense.

It is no surprise that 79% of survey respondents view cyber and privacy security as one of their top 10 risks in their overall strategy, and more than 40% of those would place it as an even more critical threat, listing it as one of their firm’s top five risks.

Marsh survey reveals many law firms have not assessed the effects of a security breach on their business, despite acknowledging the damages associated with cyber threats.

An electronic dongle used to connect to the onboard diagnostic systems of more than two million cars and trucks contains few defenses against hacking, an omission that makes them vulnerable to wireless attacks that take control of a vehicle, according to published reports.

US-based Progressive Insurance said it has used the SnapShot device in more than two million vehicles since 2008. The dongle tracks users' driving to help determine if they qualify for lower rates. According to security researcher Corey Thuen, it performs no validation or signing of firmware updates, has no secure boot mechanism, no cellular communications authentication, and uses no secure communications protocols. SnapShot connects to the OBDII port of Thuen's 2013 Toyota Tundra pickup truck, according to Forbes. From there, it runs on the CANbus networks that control braking, park assist and steering, and other sensitive functions.

SnapShot from Progressive Insurance, contains few anti-hacking defenses.
