Texas State Bar warns of data breach after INC ransomware claims attack www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

The State Bar of Texas is warning it suffered a data breach after the INC ransomware gang claimed to have breached the organization and began leaking samples of stolen data. The State Bar of Texas is the second-largest bar association in the United States, with over 100,000 licensed attorneys. It regulates the legal profession in Texas by overseeing licensing, continuing legal education, ethical compliance, and disciplinary actions.

In a notification letter sent to affected members, the organization states that it suffered a security breach between January 28 and February 9, 2025, but it was only discovered on February 12. The threat actors were able to steal information from the network, including full names and other data that is redacted in the public data breach notifications filed with Attorney Generals' offices.

“Through the investigation, we determined that there was unauthorized access to our network between January 28, 2025 and February 9, 2025,” reads the notice.
