A top Democratic lawmaker accused the U.S. Courts of delaying to reveal the dangerous extent a “sophisticated” cyberattack had on U.S. court systems in a letter Thursday.
Unidentified foreign attackers breached the judiciary’s case management systems in early 2020, but Congress did not hear of the “startling breadth and scope” of the incident until March of 2022, Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday. Finance Committee Chairman Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon expressed concern that the U.S. federal courts chose to conceal its failures to protect personal data and adopt appropriate cybersecurity measures in a letter sent Thursday to the courts, arguing the courts’ systems had created “unmanageable security risks.”
