  LOS ANGELES, CA, Mar 31 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 LIGATT Security, a premier computer security company, announces today that it
has
been certified to teach a new Continuing Legal Education course for attorneys
due to the increasing attacks from hackers for hire by and against law firms.

    On February 2008, a popular website hackers used to buy and sell personal
information, credit cards, bank account numbers, and other personal and
corporate information was advertising hackers for hire to break into law firm
computer systems.  Please refer to
http://ligattsecurity.net/cybersecurityblog for the name of this site.

    "This is nothing new to our teams here at LIGATT Security. At a hacker
convention called Black Hat there was a quote, 'If you want to know something
about a person or a company that know one else in the world knows, hack his or
her attorney's computer,'" says Gregory Evans, Director of LIGATT Security.

    LIGATT Security's new "CYBER SECURITY - PROTECTING ATTORNEY CLIENT
PRIVILEDGE
COMMUNICATIONS & INFORMATION" course is now certified and available in
Georgia and will be available in California, Nevada, and New York starting in
May.  For only $150 per attorney, a faculty member of LIGATT Security will
come to any law firm, bring lunch, and give a 1 hour class on how hackers can
breach your network and access client information. Each attorney will receive 1
CLE
credit.

    "Most law firms feel that their computer, network even their PDA is hacker
proof
because their IT department said so.  In reality IT managers are not computer
security experts.  Just like every attorney is not a litigator," says Evans.
