Phishing Attacks: Annual Updates & Prevention Strategies (2/29/24)

Phishing attacks are constantly evolving, becoming more sophisticated and harder to spot. Lawyers are prime targets for these attacks due to the large amount of personal information they retain related to their clients, so it’s essential for lawyers to receive training on this topic. In this seminar, we’ll discuss how the landscape has evolved over the past year and take a look at the various strategies hackers might use to ‘go phishing.’ We’ll also discuss how you can better your odds of spotting a phishing attempt and train team members to do the same.
