A computer security expert from the Federal Bureau of Investigation pulled no punches at LegalTech New York on Thursday. “We have hundreds of law firms that we see increasingly being targeted by hackers,” Mary Galligan said.

Galligan, of the agency’s New York office, is special agent in charge of cyber and special operations. “The FBI puts great importance on this issue,” she said, while filling in for scheduled speaker Ray Kelly, NYPD chief, who was unable to attend the conference.
