Thomson Reuters Hit by Cyberattack that Saw Court Documents Across 11 States Accessed by a Hacker
Thomson Reuters said an unauthorized party took court files from its C-Track platform, affecting appellate records in 12 U.S. jurisdictions and Ontario.
- Thomson Reuters detected an unauthorized party accessing its C-Track case management platform on June 30, affecting court systems across 11 states, the Virgin Islands, and Ontario, Canada.
- An investigation revealed that an unauthorized party obtained certain files in March, three months before detection, with public disclosure following on September 2 when court systems released notices.
- Notices sent to court users indicate names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and medical information were compromised, prompting Thomson Reuters to offer twelve months of credit monitoring.
- Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson said she was "deeply troubled that our court users' data has been compromised," while Kentucky's Administrative Office of the Courts reported no functional impairment.
- The incident underscores vulnerabilities of centralized software, where one supplier sits behind dozens of institutions; a single intrusion, similar to the LastPass breach, can compromise multiple organizations simultaneously.
