AiTM Phishing Becomes Top Initial Access Threat to Law Firms

Adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) phishing has become the leading initial access vector for law firm compromises, accounting for 56% of observed threats. The attack method uses stolen credentials and session tokens to bypass authentication controls and establish persistent access.

Why it matters: Law firms are high-value targets holding client data, trade secrets, and financial information; practitioners must prioritize detection of AiTM attacks and enforce device-level controls such as multifactor authentication (MFA) and conditional access policies to reduce exposure.
