The Next Web reports that a breach involving Thomson-Reuter’s C-track case management system has affected courts in at least 12 states and Ontario, Canada:
Thomson Reuters says an unauthorised party got into files belonging to C-Track, the case management platform its court software business sells to judiciaries. The records involved come from appellate courts in a dozen US jurisdictions and from Ontario, Canada.
The company detected the activity in its cloud environment on 30 June, according to Reuters, which is owned by Thomson Reuters. The files were taken in March, three months before anyone noticed.
Public disclosure followed on 2 September, when court systems in several states put out notices on the same day. That is more than five months after the access and more than two after it was found.
The affected jurisdictions named so far are Alabama, Kentucky, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Wyoming and the US Virgin Islands, alongside Ontario. Minnesota’s judicial branch also disclosed an exposure the same week, which would put the count higher than the twelve US jurisdictions in the wire copy.
