WatchGuard has announced a critical security update for Firebox appliances. While there’s no evidence this issue has been exploited, we’re already reviewing all client systems and preparing updates to ensure continued protection.  

Your security is our top priority — and we’ve got it covered.

Element Technologies’ CTO, Craig Sixta, recently appeared on CBS/WCCO News to discuss the cyberattack on the City of St. Paul and the growing threat of ransomware groups. He shared insights on why these attacks are so hard to stop, the impact of Minnesota’s new cyber reporting law, and how one phishing email can lead to a major breach.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, threats are becoming more sophisticated and harder to detect. Cyber criminals are constantly developing new tactics and exploiting unknown vulnerabilities, rendering old defenses inadequate. As attorneys, staying informed about these emerging threats and the modern tools designed to counter them is not just beneficial—it's essential.

Starting this week, Microsoft has enabled security defaults to adopt best practices such as requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) and disabling insecure protocols.

LastPass released a blog post titled “Notice of Recent Security Incident.” In this post, they notified users that an unknown bad actor gained access to their cloud-based storage system.

Element has reviewed this post and other related notices from other parties which have determined that, with our current information, your passwords should still be safe and there is no immediate danger of that changing.
