We received internal Trump documents from ‘Robert.’ Then the campaign confirmed it was hacked.

The campaign suggested Iran was to blame. POLITICO has not independently verified the identity of the hacker or their motivation.

Hopefully, though, the settlement won’t put an end to media scrutiny of cyberespionage’s worrying role in the legal industry. Stay tuned!

Now Dechert has settled Azima’s U.S. lawsuit too. (The terms weren’t disclosed and Dechert hasn’t admitted liability.) This (mostly) wraps up an extraordinary case that has shone a bright light on the mercenary hacking industry - & how some lawyers benefit from it. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Aviation executive Farhad Azima settles with law firm Dechert over hacking claim

Missouri-based aviation executive Farhad Azima said on Thursday he had settled with the law firm Dechert and two of its former senior attorneys over allegations they took part in a scheme to hack his emails and use them in court to destroy his business.

The judgment was unfavorable to Azima, but in the four years since he has executed a dramatic turn-around. Witnesses recanted. Payments to the hackers were unearthed. In February Dechert paid 3 million pounds plus costs fo settle Azima’s counter lawsuit. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Aviation executive settles London 'hacking' lawsuit against Dechert

A U.S. aviation executive has reached a multi-million pound settlement of his London lawsuit against international law firm Dechert over its alleged involvement in the hacking of his emails, his spokesperson said on Friday.

Dechert said they had nothing to do with the hack and that it was all just fortuitous timing. One of their lawyers, Neil Gerrard, told a U.K. judge he was alerted to the leak by a contractor. Even at the time, though, the judge was skeptical of Dechert’s client, RAKIA (From the 2020 judgment ⬇️)

Azima’s emails were published to the web by what seemed to be a kind of whistleblower. This came at an interesting time, right as he was being sued by a client of the major U.S. law firm Dechert.
