An Upper West Side woman lost the bulk of her savings after thieves hacked into her real estate lawyer’s email and duped her, she claims in a lawsuit.

An Upper West Side woman lost the bulk of her savings after thieves hacked into her real estate lawyer’s email and duped her into wiring them more than $746,000, she claims in a lawsuit.
