LAS VEGAS - nvtip -- In today's digital age, it's no secret that data privacy has become a controversial topic. Data selling and collection for advertisement purposes, data tracking, and many other reasons have become a major legal concern, especially for Big Data companies. Scammers have infiltrated these data hubs and caused a growing concern globally, through data breaches. By gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data such as personal and financial information, scammers utilize data breaches to cause identity theft, fraudulent charges, and major financial losses.

In the past year alone, legal professionals have lost over $200 million to scam offenses. To address the urgent issue of security and data privacy, the Law 2.0 Conference presented a series of reviews focusing on data breaches in the legal sector. One of the Law 2.0 Conference's panel discussions planned on December 19-21, 2022 at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, USA, highlighted some of the most common ways of data breaches.

Law firms, in case of a data breach, not only incur financial losses but also reputational damage. Clients may choose not to deal with a firm, vulnerable to data breaches and scam offenses. Word-of-mouth referrals, a major advertising factor for law firms, can be heavily affected in the case of a data breach.
