C-Track Case Management System Suffers Nationwide Breach Affecting Multiple State Supreme Courts
A nationwide cybersecurity breach involving the C-Track case management system has impacted several state supreme courts across the United States. The breach, which occurred in March and was discovered in June, affected courts in Alabama, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee, New Hampshire, Ohio, Wyoming, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Judicial Branch of New Hampshire stated that names and cases from 2002 to 2015 were accessed by an unauthorized party. In Wyoming, the breach impacted the former operating system used by the Wyoming Judicial Branch, which could have compromised names, addresses, and dates of birth. The Montana Supreme Court announced that its backup data files were part of the breach, with Chief Justice Cory Swanson stating that the team has been working to resolve the problem since July. The Minnesota Supreme Court and the Minnesota Court of Appeals were also hit by the breach. Chief Justice Natalie Hudson expressed concern over the compromised data and stated that the judicial branch is working with Thomson Reuters to conduct a full investigation. C-Track has provided 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity-theft protection services for affected individuals.
