On March 26, 2024, the Schlesinger Law Offices website was listed on the Black Basta ransomware leak site with approximately 2.2 TB of internal files marked for publication. The Fort Lauderdale personal injury firm’s clients and employees are now at direct risk because the attackers claim to have taken data from the firm’s library, scans, and users’ personal information.

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.
A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

Primary Disclosure Details
The Black Basta leak site entry states that Schlesinger Law Offices suffered a ransomware attack in which internal files were exfiltrated. The listing explicitly names three categories of material: Library, Scans, and Users personal data & etc. It does not specify the exact number of individuals affected or list sample records, but the volume cited — 2.2 TB — indicates a large-scale extraction. The disclosure provides the firm’s physical address at 1212 Southeast Third Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316, and links to its public website. No ransom amount or payment deadline appears in the public listing.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If you or anyone in your household has ever been a client of Schlesinger Law Offices, your personal information may now sit inside the attackers’ archive. Personal-injury cases routinely contain medical records, insurance details, Social Security numbers, financial statements, and family contact information. Even if you were only a witness, opposing party, or employee, the same data categories apply. Once exfiltrated, there is no reliable way to know which specific records were taken until — or unless — the attackers publish them. That uncertainty leaves every past or present connection to the firm exposed to identity theft, fraud, and targeted scams.
Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks
Ransomware groups like Black Basta rarely stop at posting generic files. They frequently comb through stolen documents for email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and client names, then cross-reference those details against other breaches. A single leaked personal-injury file can link your home address to your medical history, employment records, and family members’ names. These connections create doxxing chains that let criminals impersonate you, file fraudulent tax returns, open accounts in your name, or harass your family. Credential leaks found inside the 2.2 TB archive can also cascade into account takeovers on email, banking, and social-media platforms. Gaming accounts belonging to you or your children are especially vulnerable because kids often reuse passwords or email addresses tied to family legal matters.
