The federal courts\u2019 document system was hit by a breach with a \u201cstartling breadth and scope\u201d in early 2020, according to a report from Politico<\/em><\/a> that cites testimony from House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler. The Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly informed the judiciary about the breach in March and told lawmakers that an investigation is ongoing. Other lawmakers, such as Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), expressed concern that the DOJ had been hiding information about the breach and was refusing to explain it to the public and Congress.<\/p>\n

Nadler reportedly said that the \u201csystem security failure\u201d was the work of \u201cthree hostile foreign actors,\u201d though, according to Reuters<\/em><\/a>, security officials for the DOJ didn\u2019t specify which countries could be involved. <\/p>\n
