First Judicial Circuit continues investigation of cybersecurity breach
The First Judicial Circuit is still dealing with an “information technology security event” that was first reported October 2 and it is still unknown if any personal information contained in court records has been exposed, according to Trial Court Administrator Kasey Watson.
“The security of personal data is our priority,” Chief Judge John L. Miller said in a statement released Monday evening. “We will continue to provide the citizens of our circuit with the timely resolution of the matters brought before our courts.”
Watson said the court responded quickly after the breach was identified and shut down systems to mitigate risk to sensitive information and began a thorough investigation of the attack, including coordinating with law enforcement agencies and external cybersecurity experts.
