Know what you're up against.
These are not hypothetical scenarios. They happen to law firms, medical practices, hospitality groups, and professional service firms every week. Understanding how an attack unfolds is the first step toward making sure it never happens to you.
SIM SWAP ATTACK
They steal your phone number.
Then everything else.
A SIM swap does not require hacking your device. It requires a single phone call to your carrier. One convincing impersonation and your number transfers to a SIM the attacker controls. Every SMS two-factor code — your bank, your email, your investment account — now routes to them instead of you. Your phone goes silent. That is the first sign something is wrong.
RANSOMWARE
Every file locked.
Every client record gone.
Pay or stay dark.
Ransomware does not announce itself. It moves quietly through a network for days, mapping drives and exfiltrating files before the encryption begins. For a law firm or medical practice the calculus is brutal: patient records, case files, billing systems — all inaccessible. Then the ransom note appears and you have hours to decide whether to pay criminals or explain to clients why their data is gone.
BUSINESS EMAIL COMPROMISE
One email.
One wire transfer.
Gone before you finish lunch.
BEC is the single most financially devastating cybercrime category in the US, and law firms are the primary target. An attacker monitors your email — through a compromised account or a lookalike domain with one character swapped — waits for a pending wire transfer or real estate closing, then sends a spoofed message at exactly the right moment. The email looks exactly right. The domain is one letter off. The funds leave within the hour, moved through shell accounts before anyone notices.
CREDENTIAL STUFFING
A password you used years ago.
They've been inside ever since.
Every major data breach produces lists of usernames and passwords that end up for sale on dark web marketplaces within days. Automated tools test these credentials against hundreds of services simultaneously — banking, email, practice management software, payroll. When one works, access is silent and persistent. By the time it is discovered, months of data may already be compromised, the financial damage already done, and the evidence already cold.
