Russia Is Suspected in the Hack of a Federal Court Filing System
It is not yet clear what Russian entity might be responsible, or whether other countries were also involved. Officials familiar with the matter said there had been a yearslong effort to infiltrate the system, and former law enforcement officials described the breach as extremely serious.
Federal officials are scrambling to determine the patterns of the breach and assess the damage. Administrators with the court system recently advised officials to quickly remove the most sensitive documents from the system.
The disclosure comes as President Trump is expected to meet with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, on Friday in Alaska to discuss plans to end the war in Ukraine.
In related news, Russian forces have made swift advances in eastern Ukraine, in an effort to gain an upper hand on the battlefield ahead of Trump's meeting with Putin.
