ArentFox Schiff LLP (AFS) has issued a notification to inform individuals about a recent security incident involving unauthorized access to sensitive information. The firm discovered the incident following a report received on April 16, 2024, indicating that an unauthorized actor had copied certain files from its network. In response, AFS promptly initiated an investigation with the help of third-party cybersecurity specialists. The investigation revealed that on March 26, 2024, an unauthorized individual gained access to a specific system within AFS’s network for a brief period, during which a limited amount of information was removed.

To address the situation, AFS conducted a thorough review of the compromised data to identify the specific contents and the individuals affected. By July 9, 2024, the review confirmed that information pertaining to some individuals was included in the breached dataset. While the details of the exposed data elements were not specified in the notice, AFS emphasized that it had no knowledge of any attempted or actual misuse of the information. The firm is treating this incident with the utmost seriousness and is committed to maintaining robust security measures to protect the information it manages.

In addition to launching an investigation, AFS notified law enforcement and is implementing enhanced cybersecurity measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. The firm is also taking the precaution of notifying affected individuals, allowing them to take steps to safeguard their information if they deem it necessary. Furthermore, AFS is reporting the incident to relevant regulatory authorities where required, reflecting its commitment to transparency and compliance with applicable laws.

As a protective measure, ArentFox Schiff LLP is offering affected individuals complimentary access to credit monitoring and identity theft protection services for 24 months, facilitated through Experian. The firm encourages recipients of the notification to remain vigilant against potential identity theft and fraud by reviewing their account statements and monitoring their credit reports for any suspicious activity.
