Legal AI solutions company LexisNexis was forced to pull its data services offline after detecting suspicious activity on its managed third-party vendor’s environment, disrupting access to critical investigative tools. “Earlier this week, we identified unusual activity on servers that are hosted and managed by a third-party vendor,” the company stated. LexisNexis is working to restore the impacted systems and has hired an external cybersecurity forensics firm to respond to the incident. The disruption affected LexisNexis Diligence, a background and compliance checks platform, Newsdesk, a public-facing news monitoring platform, and Metabase API, a developer-centric news aggregation system that helps customers monitor and ingest news, social media content, and historical printed content into their products.
