Hackers strike US court system: Identities of informants compromised in wide hacking attack

Source: WION [India]

“A sweeping hacking attack on the US federal court filing system may have compromised identities of confidential court informants, a report in the Politico website said on Wednesday (Aug 6). The hack targeted the US judiciary’s electronic case filing system. The case management system contains sensitive information, including indictments and arrest warrants. The hack may have exposed sensitive court data in several states, the Politico report said, citing two people aware of the matter. The filing system includes the case management/electronic case Files, or CM/ECF. This is used for uploading and managing case documents. The system also has the Public Access to Court Electronic Records, or PACER, which give the public paid access to some of the data.” (08/07/25)
