Mark Brophy at Inside Counsel wrote a great post about putting the safety of your law firm or legal department ahead of quick-fix solutions that jeopardize cyber security.  Security issues often crash more than just a server.  Issues that could risk the confidentiality of client files should always be considered.

How safe is that file transfer program you are using?  Do you utilize Dropbox for client files or transfers?  It might be time to look for something better.  

Don't let this happen to your clients, your firm, or you.
