SAN FRANCISCO — The State Bar of California announced Saturday that is investigating a data breach of confidential attorney discipline it discovered had been posted online Thursday.
A public website that aggregates nationwide court case records was able to access and display limited case profile data on about 260,000 nonpublic state bar attorney discipline case records, along with about 60,000 public court case records, according to a news release from the state bar.
Officials said the website also appears to display confidential court records from other jurisdictions.State bar officials said they have taken several steps since the discovery, including notifying law enforcement, hiring a team of forensic experts to assist in the investigation, and asking the organization’s case management software vendor to investigate.
“We apologize to anyone to anyone who is affected by the website’s unlawful display of nonpublic data,” said Leah Wilson, the bar association’s executive director. “We take our obligations to protect confidential data with the utmost seriousness, and we are doing everything we can to ensure that we resolve this issue quickly and prevent any such breaches from recurring. We intend to act quickly to provide disclosures to affected individuals.
The organization has set up a webpage to provide ongoing updates and answer questions about the data breach at calbar.ca.gov/data-breach.© Copyright 2022 CBS Broadcasting Inc. and Bay City News. All Rights Reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed

State Bar disciplinary records should be publicly accessible. So should the CMA records. All professional association disciplinary records should be available on a public database.
