UK listed law firm Gateley said that it has suffered a cyberattack, according to a filing to the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

The firm said it was managing a ‘cyber security incident’ after discovering that its systems had been breached by a ‘now known external source’. Gateley added in the filing that its IT team had quickly identified the attack and acted immediately to secure the firm’s systems.

The firm said it will continue to investigate the breach over the coming days but initial findings suggest the incident was confined to ‘a very small part’ of its data store, with only around 0.2% of the company’s data being exposed.

“The impacted data was traced quickly and deleted from the location to which it had been downloaded and there is no evidence currently to suggest that this data has been further disseminated,” Gateley said in the stock exchange filing.
It added that the data did include some client data and that those clients will be notified once the firm’s investigations have progressed further.
