Over a period of months, hackers apparently accessed people's names, Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses, driver's license numbers, and in some cases, credit card numbers and personally identifiable information (PII). Although the cybersecurity breach occurred from mid-May through July, it was apparently discovered on July 29. To the chagrin of many people, including government officials, on Sept. 7, Equifax made its first public release warning the American public of the breach, writes Gavin Gaukroger.

A note in a text file then appears stating that in order to unlock the computer and access its data, a ransom must be paid, typically in the form of Bitcoin. The hackers threaten to delete all data on the computer system if payment is not sent, write Walter J. Andrews and Katherine E. Miller.

Cybercrimes have been dominating our politics, our finances and our national security. Not a day goes by without news of another cyberattack, hacking scheme or massive data breach. They range in scale from simple identity theft of credit card numbers or online passwords to the recent WannaCry attack by North Korean hackers that disrupted computer systems in English hospitals, Chinese universities and German railways. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, U.S. companies and government agencies suffered a record 1,093 data breaches last year, a 40-percent increase from 2015, writes attorney Michael D. Ford.

Even though the ABA does not set final rules over attorneys, this is another clear indication to the industry that data security must be considered a priority, writes Josh Merkin.
