The Legal Aid Agency (LAA) in the UK is recovering from a May 2025 cyberattack that resulted in theft of sensitive legal aid data and disrupted its Client and Cost Management System (CCMS). The report describes the LAA's December restoration efforts, introduction of stronger security controls (AWS Secure Browser, MFA, stricter file handling), operational friction for users, and notes the breach likely exposed a significant amount of personal data tied to hundreds of thousands of legal aid claims.
