Congratulations?to?Segal McCambridge Shareholder Jordan Rosenberg, whose latest column is published in The Legal Intelligencer! Jordan writes of the ongoing threat of cybercriminals and data breaches, particularly as law firms host sensitive client and customer data on their internal systems that may be subject to electronic scammers.
