US federal court work hit after BAE Systems cyberattack affects bankruptcy court systems
The incident halted the BNC’s production and distribution of bankruptcy notices for bankruptcy courts.
BAE Systems experienced a cyberattack that disrupted the US Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC), an essential service responsible for transmitting official bankruptcy notices from federal courts across the nation. The incident halted the production and distribution of these notices, leaving all access to BNC systems and websites unavailable.
The Administrative Office of the US Courts (AOUSC) is collaborating with BAE Systems to investigate the matter, but no details on data exposure or attribution have been disclosed yet. BAE Systems, a leading defense, aerospace, and security company, operates the BNC on behalf of the Federal Judiciary.
