Trump says he may bring up Russia-linked hack of US courts with Putin during upcoming meeting
This marks the first time Trump has publicly acknowledged the hack since it was brought to light last week. The president has previously avoided public confrontations with Russia about its digital influence activities. During a meeting with Putin in 2018, Trump went against U.S. intelligence findings and asserted that Russia did not meddle in the 2016 presidential elections, despite evidence to the contrary. The latest hacking effort compromised the judiciary's Case Management/Electronic Case Files — or CM/ECF — which allows legal professionals to upload and manage case documents, along with the public-facing PACER system that provides some general access to the same data. Officials fear that this breach might allow Latin American drug cartels to identify and target witnesses involved in criminal trials against them. Officials believe the hackers exploited basic and unresolved vulnerabilities in the court filing system that were first discovered in 2020. Following POLITICO's initial report, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts announced that it is stepping up cybersecurity measures and is working with impacted courts to mitigate the impact of the attacks. Congress is also keeping a close eye on the incident. Lawmakers on relevant House and Senate committees were briefed on the hack in July, and will receive a further classified briefing on the incident when Congress returns from its August recess after Labor Day. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, on Wednesday blasted the judiciary for not doing more to protect their networks since 2020, telling POLITICO in a statement that 'like many Americans, I am sick of learning about hacks that could have been prevented with cybersecurity 101.' 'It is long past time to require federal courts to meet the same minimum cybersecurity standards as federal agencies,' Wyden said.

Russia reportedly implicated in hack on US federal courts' databases
Databases used by US federal courts for sharing and managing case documents have been hacked. Politico first reported on the hack last week on August 6; today, an investigation from The New York Times states that Russia is suspected to be involved in the attack. The Administrative Office of the US Courts initially identified the severity of the cyberattack in July, although the extent of the breach by "persistent and sophisticated cyber threat actors" has not been disclosed and may still not be known by national officials. Both the Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) and PACER systems have been impacted by the attack. CM/ECF is used by legal professionals and courts to store documents, while PACER grants the public limited access to those same files. Anonymous officials told Politico that chief judges for federal courts in the 8th Circuit were briefed on the attack, but were unable to confirm what agency provided the briefing. The 8th Circuit includes Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. Politico 's original report said the hack may have "compromised the identities of confidential informants involved in criminal cases at multiple federal district courts." The Times coverage added that some of the searches by the intruders "included midlevel criminal cases in the New York City area and several other jurisdictions, with some cases involving people with Russian and Eastern European surnames." However, there have been no additional details revealed about what entity is behind the attack, whether a branch of Russian intelligence may have been involved, or what evidence the investigators have discovered tying the hack to Russia. The isn't the only time CM/ECF has been a hacking target. The courts introduced new protections for the system in 2021 in response to a cyberattack; a similar announcement arrived on August 7. At this time, the courts have been ordered to move files for cases that may have been of interest off the compromised systems, although some districts have ordered even more limited use of CM/ECF or PACER as a preventive measure.

The new Case Management solution provides a unified workspace for cross-functional teams, centralizing identity information, payment histories, risk scores, and internal audit notes in one intelligent interface.

Case Management is included as a core feature across Sumsub's identity verification, anti-fraud, and AML solutions—fully integrated and ready to deploy without complex adoption procedures. This launch comes as financial crime teams face increasingly complex threats. The global average fraud rate surged by 30% year-over-year—from 2.0% in 2024 to 2.6% in 2025 - driven by deepfakes, fraud-as-a-service, and rapidly evolving typologies. Teams must act faster, smarter, and more collaboratively than ever before.

'With the rise of deepfakes and complex fraud schemes, teams can't afford to work in silos. That's why we built a platform that's not just unified, but smart—where AI like Summy supports every step of the investigation. This is a leap forward in making compliance faster, clearer, and more effective. Tested extensively by Sumsub's Quality Control Team, and built on extensive research into fincrime teams and insights gathered during our Customer Advisory Board meetings, this solution was built to address the most pressing challenges in case management. It makes investigations faster, more transparent, and easier to manage for fraud and risk professionals.'
