Legal services giant Epiq Global has been hit by a ransomware attack.
The company, which provides legal counsel and administration that counts banks, credit giants, and governments as customers, confirmed the attack hit on February 29.
“As part of our comprehensive response plan, we immediately took our systems offline globally to contain the threat and began working with a third-party forensic firm to conduct an independent investigation,” a company statement read. “Our technical team is working closely with world class third-party experts to address this matter, and bring our systems back online in a secure manner, as quickly as possible.”
The company’s website, however, says it was “offline to perform maintenance.”
The legal services giant has banks, credit giants, and governments as customers.
