Law firms have uniquely personal relationships with clients, making them highly susceptible to email fraud, especially impersonation. They also deal with some of the largest payments anyone will make in their lifetime, such as property transactions, commercial transactions, and wills. Law firms are also a prime target for criminals because of the sums involved in legal fees.
Email is the tool most-used by fraudsters targeting law firms. So it’s critical that these organizations protect their brand names from all forms of abuse, and ensure that only real email sent from them ever reaches an inbox.
It’s easy for cybercriminals to gather publicly available information about a law firm, its employees, and its partners. This information can come from many sources, including the firm’s website, company and employee social media, and out-of-office emails. Additionally, it’s common practice for lawyers to have their contact details publicly available online.
The availability of this information makes it easy for fraudsters to use email to impersonate a law firm or individual lawyers for illegal gain. They can also use the information to intercept an email and change the contents for illicit gain. When this happens the financial and reputational damage can be devastating.
Law firms need take measures to protect their domains and prevent fraudsters from sending impersonating emails from their email address. Cybercriminals impersonate not just the company name, but also its styling and language, making it difficult to distinguish the fake from the real thing.
