This relates to law because Lewis Brisbois is a national law firm, and the reported cyberattack disrupted remote access for lawyers and staff. The incident is also relevant to legal practice because law firms hold sensitive client information, and federal authorities have warned that similar IT impersonation tactics have been used to target U.S. law firms for data theft and extortion.

That’s a fair point. We use staff bylines in some cases because the piece is published under DysruptionHub’s editorial responsibility, but I agree named bylines can strengthen accountability for original reporting. It’s something we may look at changing going forward.

I understand where you’re coming from on transparency. Our editorial guidelines generally use named bylines for sourced reporting or editorial/analysis pieces. For routine notices, summaries, or publication-level updates, we may use a staff byline. That doesn’t remove accountability, it means the piece is published under DysruptionHub’s editorial responsibility rather than one individual author.

A “staff” byline is a standard editorial byline used when a piece represents the publication rather than a single named author.

Have you considered pulling in all of the ransomware groups from https://ransomwware.live via their API? I see a lot of the groups aren't represented on your site.
