Casepoint Data Breach

Casepoint is one of the first companies to get approval to serve as an eDiscovery tool for Federal and State governments in the United States. The company manages legal data for huge agencies and is the home of many legal secrets that could provide lawyers with an edge if they had access to all the company's data. That's why Casepoint suffering from a data breach is such a significant problem. Data from significant government agencies could be exposed to anyone with access to the internet that knows where to look, which could lead to serious security issues. 

How Did the Attack Occur?

We don't know all the specifics, but the Casepoint data breach occurred because the ransomware gang ALPHV made a coordinated attack on the company and reportedly stole more than two terabytes of data during the attack, a massive amount of information. This substantial data includes loads of government documents as well as some health documents and more. The problem was first detected on May 30, 2023, and reports were issued on June 1, 2023. 

What Information Was Viewed or Stolen?

A wealth of secure and confidential data was taken in this data breach. A significant number of attorney files, internal government documents, medical information, legal documents, government IDs, FBI internal communications, and so much more. The information at risk because of this breach could lead to substantial problems for many major businesses and government agencies. 

How Did Casepoint Admit to the Breach?

Casepoint has communicated with major news outlets, such as TechCrunch, about the data breach. The company's comments confirm the breach occurred and that it's being resolved by the company. We don't believe that Casepoint has sent out any individual notices about the breach yet, but we have no way to determine this. 

What Will Become of the Stolen Information?

At first, the stolen data will be put up for ransom in an attempt to collect a fee from Casepoint. If the ransom gets denied, it's likely that the information will either be given out, traded, sold, or used in hacking attempts. A vast amount of information was taken from Casepoint, so it's likely that it will be used in many different ways and that a variety of organizations will be harmed by this data. 

What Should Affected Parties Do in the Aftermath of the Breach?

Right now, we don't know what individual parties have been impacted by this breach, but it's likely there are some individuals whose personal or health data was revealed by these data attacks. If you do receive a notice from Casepoint about the breach, you should take immediate steps to secure your credit and monitor your financial accounts. 

A credit monitoring service will help you stay on top of any changes that occur to your credit and financial accounts. If Casepoint determines your data has been exposed in this breach, the company may be obligated to offer credit monitoring or identity theft protection services to you and the other victims of this breach.
