US Senator Ron Wyden accused the federal judiciary of \u201cnegligence and incompetence\u201d following a recent hack, reportedly by hackers with ties to the Russian government, that exposed confidential court documents.<\/p>\n

The breach of the judiciary\u2019s electronic case filing system first came to light<\/a> in a report by Politico three weeks ago, which went on to say that the vulnerabilities exploited in the hack were known since 2020<\/a>. The New York Times, citing people familiar with the intrusion, said<\/a> that Russia was “at least partly responsible” for the hack.<\/p>\n

A \u201csevere threat\u201d to national security<\/h2>\n

The second compromise was first detected around July 5, Politico reported, citing two unnamed sources who weren\u2019t authorized to speak to reporters. Discovery of the hack came a month after Michael Scudder, a judge chairing the Committee on Information Technology for the federal courts\u2019 national policymaking body, told<\/a> members of the House Judiciary Committee that the federal court system is under constant attack by increasingly sophisticated hackers.<\/p>\n
