IPH, Latitude Financial hit with cyber incidents
Intellectual property law giant IPH Limited (ASX: IPH), two of its member firms and personal loans provider Latitude Group (ASX: LFS) have all alerted customers to cyber incidents today, with potentially hundreds of thousands of individuals affected.
According to IPH, the cyber incident was primarily limited to the document management systems (DMS) of its head office and two of its member firms in Australia - Spruson & Ferguson and Griffith Hack, as well as the practice management systems (PMS) of the two firms.
The legal giant, which also counts AJ Park, Pizzeys, Smart & Biggar and Applied Marks as group members, said the unauthorised access to its IT environment occurred on 13 March - one day before the company went into a trading halt to address the issue.
