A cyber incident tied to defense contractor BAE Systems disrupts the US federal bankruptcy courts’ notice system, affecting operations of the Bankruptcy Noticing Center. Multiple outlets report that services used to issue nationwide bankruptcy notices are unavailable, causing notices to stall for about a week.
According to reporting from SecurityWeek, the incident knocks out the Bankruptcy Noticing Center itself. Infosecurity Magazine similarly says several services supporting the center are unavailable due to the BAE Systems-related cyber incident. Bleeping Computer adds that the Administrative Office of the US Courts states the attack has taken down the notice system used by federal bankruptcy courts.
While details of the underlying cyber event are limited across the sources, they agree on the operational impact: the bankruptcy noticing mechanism used across US courts cannot function normally during the outage. The different outlets primarily vary in how they describe the affected components, but all frame the disruption as a federal court services interruption linked to BAE Systems.
