Arizona Court System Hit by Cyberattack, Personal Data of Many Residents Potentially Stolen
Officials say court staff shut down the breach quickly and are notifying affected residents as investigators work to determine how many records were copied.
- On Friday, Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer announced a cyberattack on the court system involving criminal hackers or automated "bots" that copied personally identifiable information belonging to many Arizonans.
- Among those affected are Arizonans with current or past protective orders, whose confidential addresses may have been compromised. Officials emphasized the attack targeted broad records, not specific individuals.
- "Reading that the criminals may have copied my information about me and my location made me feel very vulnerable," Ashley said. She fears her safety is now at risk.
- Timmer pledged full commitment to supporting the FBI investigation, while retired FBI special agent John Iannarelli stated that until information appears online, it is safe to assume no damage has occurred yet.
- The Administrative Office of the Courts is notifying affected individuals while investigators work with the FBI. Despite significant safeguards, the court system acknowledged that no computer network is 100% secure.
