Russian hackers infiltrated the US federal court's case-management system, rummaging through sensitive legal documents and acquiring sealed information over several months. The CM/ECF platform suffered from significant vulnerabilities, some dating back to 2020. The attacks are linked to Russia, with reports suggesting a coordinated effort to exploit outdated systems in both the US and Norway. This cyber intrusion raises concerns over the security of sensitive legal information and the potential for state-sponsored operations targeting critical infrastructure.
The attackers broke into the US court system's digital filing cabinet, rifling through sensitive case material and sealed documents, including witness identities and court blueprints.
Russia is reportedly responsible for a cyberattack on the US court system, identified as a years-long effort involving the exploitation of outdated system vulnerabilities.
