What was the April 2024 Ransomware Attack?
In late April 2024, Legacy Professionals LLP discovered suspicious activity on their computer network. By November 2024, their investigation revealed that certain files had been taken by an unauthorized actor. The breach affected Legacy's systems, not those of their clients.
Information Exposed:
- Name of individual
- Social Security Number
- Driver’s License number
- Government-issued ID number (e.g., passport, state ID card)
- Financial Information (e.g., account number, credit or debit card number)
- Medical Information
- Health Insurance Information
On August 25, 2024, the ransomware group, LOCKBIT 3.0, took credit for the attack with a post on the dark web. The group threatened to make the data public if their demands were not met within 14 days.
An investigation by Claim Depot was unable to determine if the files were made public or if the ransom was paid by Legacy Professionals.
The breach was reported to various attorney generals' offices, with disclosures made to the California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Texas offices in early 2025. The firm notified affected individuals via U.S. Mail on February 27, 2025.
