In February 2025, Brydens Lawyers experienced a cyberattack that resulted in unauthorised access to its servers and the exfiltration of more than six hundred gigabytes of data concerning the firm, its clients, ongoing cases, and staff. Foreign actors subsequently attempted to extort a ransom using the stolen information. Upon discovering the breach, the firm’s principal informed employees, shut down affected digital systems, and engaged external advisers, legal counsel, and security specialists to investigate and restore security. The incident was reported to the Australian Cyber Security Centre and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, with the firm pledging to notify affected parties and take remedial steps once the investigation concludes. These events highlight the cybersecurity challenges faced by legal practices handling sensitive client information.
