Law firm Jones Day says hackers got their hands on confidential client data and firm communications when an outside vendor’s file transfer system was breached.
Jones Day is the second major law firm in two weeks to have private data exposed as a result of a breach at Accellion, which provides file transfer and other services for a number of firms. Goodwin Procter said Feb. 2 that certain client and employee data was also left unprotected.
