Linklaters has been targeted by cyber scammers for the third time in the space of a few months.
Emails professing to be from Linklaters were sent to a client of the Magic Circle firm, requesting that funds be paid into a 'subsidiary bank account'. A document called 'Linklaters bank information' was attached to one of the emails, claiming to provide genuine bank account details.
The firm has referred the matter to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), which published a warning on the issue on May 10.
