Federal Courts Slow to Fix Vulnerable System After Repeated Hacking

The article discusses the vulnerability of the federal court system to hacking incidents. In 2020, a breach thought to be the work of Russia occurred, prompting the courts to inform Congress that they would strengthen the security of the system used to store sealed documents. However, five years later, the same system was hacked again. The article highlights the slow pace of the federal courts in addressing the security vulnerabilities in their systems, despite the repeated hacking incidents. The failure to implement effective security measures in a timely manner has left the court system susceptible to further attacks, compromising the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information. The article suggests that the federal courts have not taken sufficient action to address the security concerns, even after being made aware of the vulnerabilities. This raises questions about the overall security posture of the federal judiciary and the need for more proactive measures to protect sensitive information and systems from cyber threats.
