A cyberattack on BAE Systems has knocked offline the service that sends bankruptcy notices for every U.S. federal bankruptcy court. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts said the incident disrupted the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC), including bnc.uscourts.gov, bankruptcynotices.uscourts.gov, notices.uscourts.gov, and the National Creditor Registration Service, halting production and transmission of notices; no data theft details were confirmed.
Why it matters: This is a nationwide disruption to a core judiciary service, affecting court operations and people waiting on bankruptcy notices. Federal agencies, court administrators, and users of the affected services should monitor for restoration updates and watch for any later disclosure about exposed data.
