Gateley suffers data breach following ‘cyber security incident’

Posted on June 17, 2021 by Dissent

Ben Edwards reports:

UK listed law firm Gateley said that it has suffered a cyberattack, according to a filing to the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

The firm’s incident response is described in somewhat interesting terms:

“The impacted data was traced quickly and deleted from the location to which it had been downloaded and there is no evidence currently to suggest that this data has been further disseminated,” Gateley said in the stock exchange filing.

It added that the data did include some client data and that those clients will be notified once the firm’s investigations have progressed further.

So was this a ransomware incident where they paid ransom to get the data removed from a leak site? The firm emphasizes that this impacted only a very small percentage of its data store.
