Daily News | Former Wall Street Journal reporter accuses Philly’s Dechert of hacking him, getting him fired
a 1,000-lawyer firm with 22 offices. He is seeking damages as a result of a number of claims including illegal hacking, conspiracy, racketeering, and “theft of highly confidential information, documents, and materials.”
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, contends that the law firm engaged in a “hack-and-smear” campaign that resulted in Solomon’s being fired from his job and his journalistic integrity questioned. It names four other entities and six more individuals as defendants.
In a recent email statement, Solomon said: “This case illustrates how powerful individuals and entities can deploy vast resources and spend vast sums with the aim of silencing a journalist. It’s a trend that’s becoming a greater threat to journalism and media, as digital surveillance and hacking technologies become more sophisticated and pervasive. This is a major threat to the freedom of the press.
