2 U.S. Law Firms Lost Over $117K to International Cybercrime Network, Indictment Alleges
A law firm in Washington, D.C., and a law office in Wellesley, Massachusetts, are among the victims of malware attacks by an overseas cybercrime network, according to an ABA Journal report.
A Department of Justice press release announced the dismantling of the cybercrime network in an international law enforcement operation. The release did not identify the law firm or law office, other than to reveal their locations.
“The operation was highlighted by the unprecedented initiation of criminal prosecutions against members of the network in four different countries as a result of cooperation between the United States, Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Germany, Bulgaria, Europol and Eurojust,” the press release states.
