SWEEPING CYBERATTACK COMPROMISES U.S. JUDICIAL CASE SYSTEMS IN MAJOR NATIONAL SECURITY BREACH

A widespread cyberattack has penetrated the U.S. federal court system, compromising sensitive judicial case data and prompting urgent responses from intelligence agencies and national security officials.

The breach, which was disclosed in part by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, is now considered one of the most serious cyber intrusions into the American legal infrastructure in recent history.

According to officials familiar with the matter, the attackers gained unauthorized access to sealed court documents, confidential filings, and restricted legal communications, raising concerns about national security, witness protection, and ongoing investigations. The intrusion is believed to have begun as early as 2020, but only recently came to light after anomalous activity was flagged by internal cybersecurity monitors and external federal agencies.

The full extent of the breach is still under investigation, but early reports suggest that the attackers exfiltrated data across multiple federal district and appellate courts, including cases involving intelligence matters, financial crimes, and classified operations.
