Reported Details of the Breach
Available reporting describes the incident as a ransomware attack in which Akira gained access to the firm’s networks, encrypted systems, and then exfiltrated files before threatening to publish them. The group posted a sample of the stolen data on its leak site, listing the law firm by name and providing a partial directory of the 168GB archive. No exact number of affected clients has been confirmed, but the nature of a family law practice means the records likely contain highly personal details for hundreds or thousands of individuals and their families.
The exposed material goes far beyond basic contact information. Court filings often include addresses, dates of birth, financial affidavits, child custody arrangements, and medical or psychological evaluations. Once posted on a ransomware leak site, this information becomes freely downloadable by anyone who finds the link.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If you or anyone in your family has ever been a client of Herrman Law LLC, your private information may now be circulating among cybercriminals. SSNs, passports, driver’s licenses, credit card numbers, and medical records are the raw materials identity thieves need to open accounts, file fraudulent taxes, or impersonate you. Even if you were not a direct client, family members or household dependents listed in court documents could be placed at risk.
