Ransomware Attack Reportedly Hits Practice Management Company, Locking Lawyers Out of their Case Files

By Bob Ambrogi on October 17, 2019

The case management software company TrialWorks was reportedly hit by a ransomware attack, shutting down its platform for at least four days and locking some lawyers out of their case files. According to the TechBento blog, the attack started last Sunday and lasted at least through yesterday. I have not been able to confirm with the company if the situation has been resolved. One customer on Twitter told me as of 8:49 p.m. ET on…

Archiving emails and dealing with the ghosts of former co-workers

By Garry Vander Voort on October 16, 2019

Probably the most unusual aspect of doing this work is dealing with someone who has left the company. Not the administration of the account, the back-ups or retention, but the time between that part of the work and their departure. During this…
