The electronic case filing system of the United States' federal judiciary has recently fallen victim to a large-scale hacking attack, impacting federal district courts across multiple states. This breach has sparked concerns regarding the potential leakage of sensitive information, including the identities of confidential witnesses. The attack, which took place in early July, remains under active investigation. Notably, while the incident did not compromise the highest-level protection systems, it has nonetheless exposed vulnerabilities in the network security of the U.S. court system.
