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.

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.

Word-of-mouth referrals, a major advertising factor for law firms, can be heavily affected in the case of a data breach.
