Primary Disclosure Details
The Qilin leak site entry states that Epstein Law suffered a ransomware attack in which attackers exfiltrated internal files. The listing does not quantify how many records were taken, name specific data types beyond “internal files,” or disclose the exact date of initial compromise. It simply announces that the data is held by the group and will soon be available for download. No ransom demand figure is published on the site, and the notification does not confirm whether any client personally identifiable information, case files, or financial records were included.
November 17, 2023 marks the first public confirmation of the incident through the ransomware leak portal. The disclosure is limited to what the operators themselves chose to reveal; Epstein Law has not released a separate client notification detailing the scope.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a law firm’s internal files are taken, the exposure often reaches far beyond the business itself. Clients entrust lawyers with full names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Insurance Numbers, financial statements, medical records, family court documents, and immigration papers. If any of those materials were stored digitally at Epstein Law, your information could now sit on a criminal server.
