When was the last time you went to work (or anywhere, really) without some kind of mobile device with you? Since the adoption of mobile devices, the answer is probably never. When was the last time you felt you could adequately handle all your work on that mobile device? If you’re like most lawyers, the answer is, again, probably never.

The legal profession today is a mobile one, with attorneys practicing anywhere and everywhere with the help of smartphones and tablets. As ubiquitous as they are, though, most lawyers would say they can’t handle all the meaningful work they need to handle on those devices, due to poor document workflows, security concerns, and usability.

What if I told you that you really could handle all your work in one app on your mobile device? It might sound too good to be true, but it’s possible with the LINK app from Mobile Helix.

LINK is finally making it possible to handle documents in a meaningful way on all your devices. LINK combines convenient workflows, document management, search, review, annotation, comparison, editing capabilities, and email management in one app that you can actually use from your phone or tablet.

Do Everything, Everywhere With LINK

When you think about the tools you use most in your day-to-day work, your document management system (DMS) and Outlook are probably at the top of the list. Working in both on your mobile device, though, has historically been a huge struggle, if not impossible. LINK brings them together in a single, secure, easy-to-use app.

LINK is designed to support the workflows attorneys use all day, every day. The app works with today’s most popular mobile devices – iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets – and supports the three leading document management systems, iManage Work®, NetDocuments, and eDocs by OpenText.

LINK is solving the pervasive problem of lawyers being unable to adequately work on their mobile devices. With LINK, lawyers can fully access their documents, compare them, mark them up, edit them, email them, and more, as easily and securely as they can on a computer.

Clop ransomware gang is back, hits 21 victims in a single month

Ransomware

After effectively shutting down their entire operation for several months, between November and February, the Clop ransomware is now back, according to NCC Group researchers.

“CL0P had an explosive and unexpected return to the forefront of the ransomware threat landscape, jumping from the least active threat actor in March to the fourth most active in April,” NCC Group said.

This surge in activity was noticed after the ransomware group added 21 new victims to their data leak site within a single month, in April.

“There were notable fluctuations in threat actor targeting in April. While Lockbit 2.0 (103 victims) and Conti (45 victims) remain the most prolific threat actors, victims of CL0P increased massively, from 1 to 21,” NCC Group added.

Clop’s most targeted sector was the industrial sector, with 45% of Clop ransomware attacks hitting industrial organizations and 27% targeting tech companies.

Because of this, NCC Group’s strategic threat intelligence global lead Matt Hull warned orgs within the ransomware group’s most targeted sectors to consider the possibility of being this gang’s next target and prepare accordingly.

However, despite already leaking data from almost two dozen victims, the ransomware group doesn’t seem very active based on the number of submissions on the ID Ransomware service.

Part of a shutdown process?

While some of the recent victims are confirmed to be new attacks, one theory is that the Clop gang might finally be shutting down their operation after being inactive for so long.

As part of this process, the ransomware gang would likely publish the data of all previously unpublished victims.

This is similar to what the Conti group appears to be doing right now as part of their own ongoing shutdown.

Whether these are old or new victims will likely be confirmed if they release breach notifications or publish confirmations (some of them have already done it).

Who is Clop?

The Clop ransomware gang’s activity lull is easily explained by some of its infrastructure getting shut down in June 2021 following an international law enforcement operation codenamed Operation Cyclone coordinated by the INTERPOL.

Cyber crime: There is not a single institution where the buck stops

/in


Around 1.3 billion Indians have a unique digital identity; 750 million use smartphones and 800 million use the internet. The world’s biggest public information infrastructure needs a fortress to secure its cyberspace from armies threatening to weaponise data and digitally colonise nations.

When multiple organisations are handling cybersecurity, it becomes difficult to assign roles and responsibilities to them. There must be an umbrella organisation looking after cybersecurity in the country. —Muktesh Chander, senior IPS officer

Today, the cases of cyberattacks being converted into an FIR is mere 10 per cent. This is because law enforcement agencies cannot step in unless there is a complaint…

Today, there are many hands holding bricks, but the foundation is yet to be laid. In July, 2019, a taskforce was set up under Rajesh Pant, a retired lieutenant general and national security coordinator, to draw up a national cybersecurity strategy. The strategy, which has taken shape on paper and is awaiting the cabinet nod, proposes to create a national architecture that brings all arms dealing with cybersecurity under one umbrella organisation.

Since 2013 the entire cyber landscape has changed. Earlier, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-IN) was the only agency issuing alerts and training experts. Now more than half a dozen agencies exist, and the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing sometimes.

The National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre (NCIIPC) protects critical infrastructure; the Defence Cyber Agency—headed by Mohit Gupta, a rear admiral—is the first joint cyber group of the tri-services, with nearly 150 experts handling cyberthreats for military establishments. The ministry of home affairs runs the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, which is setting up regional and district cybercrime cells to act as nodal points for quick registration of crimes. The ministry of electronics and communication runs the Cyber Swachhta Kendra, separately for botnet cleaning and malware analysis. For cross-border breaches, the cyber diplomacy wing of the ministry of external affairs comes in handy.

Eva Maydell MEP: “There is not a single day that passes without a cyberattack somewhere”

/in


The European Peoples’ Party (EPP) has warned the West: always be ready for a cyber attack.

“In today’s world, it is not about whether a company or institution will be hacked, the question is whether you are prepared and resilient when it happens. Today’s vote is a clear signal that we stand for the strong cybersecurity protection of European citizens, businesses and institutions”, declared Eva Maydell MEP, the EPP Group’s negotiator of the Directive dealing with measures for a high common level of cybersecurity across the Union.

Members of the Industry, Research and Energy Committee will today approve new rules to enhance the European Union’s cyber capacity and resilience in order to respond to the growing threats brought about by digitalisation.

Throughout the negotiations, Maydell had to take into account the increasing number and sophistication of cyberattacks around the world. EU data strikingly shows that 2/5 of EU users have experienced security-related problems. 1/8 of businesses have been affected by cyberattacks. The annual cost of cybercrime to the global economy was estimated at €5.5 trillion by the end of 2020. This is double that of 2015.

“There is not a single day that passes without a cyberattack somewhere – Solar Winds, Colonial Pipeline, the Irish Health Service Executive, to this very week, as Microsoft announced that Russian-backed hackers have been targeting cloud service companies since summer. The updated Cybersecurity Directive is a tool to enhance cyber capacity and to provide for the safe digital transition of Europe. Our economy and public life will not go backwards on the digitalisation process”, stated Maydell.

The Directive puts emphasis on the maturity levels of smaller companies, which often have a false sense of security, thinking that they are not an ‘interesting target’ for hackers.

MEPs also strengthened the requirements for the Computer Security Incidents Response Teams (CSIRTs), so these teams are able to monitor networks in real or near real time and detect anomalies. Members insisted that CSIRTs have the ability to investigate cyber…
