Allen & Overy suffered a “data incident,” the London-founded law firm said on Thursday, after social media posts suggested it had been hacked by the Lockbit cybercrime gang. An Allen & Overy spokesperson said the firm had “experienced a data incident impacting a small number of storage servers,” but its email and document management system had not been affected.

Ozy Media judge dings Brooklyn prosecutors for ‘improper’ press release

A Brooklyn federal judge ruled on Monday that the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s office crossed a line in its February 2023 press release announcing the indictment of the once high-flying entrepreneur Carlos Watson for defrauding investors in his now-shuttered television and entertainment company Ozy Media. As a remedy for including potentially prejudicial statements in the release, Komitee ordered the government to do … nothing. Which is exactly what prosecutors have done in response to the judge’s decision. Alison Frankel explains why Watson’s lawyer still believes prosecutors will take down the improper press release.
