The article published in The New York Times reports on the possible involvement of Russia in the cyberatca in the US Federal Judicial System.
According to the sources that the publication refers, some evidence was revealed during the investigation, indicating that the Russian Federation, at least partially, is responsible for recent unauthorized actions aimed at the computer system, and the management documentation of the Federal Court of State. As a result of this incident, confidential records that may contain relevant information about persons accused of crimes against the national security of the country were allegedly compiled.
However, as noted in the article, at the moment, intelligence services did not establish the specific persons standing for the implementation of this cyber attack. But Russia, of course, did not forget to mention.
Kiberataka was recorded in early July. As a result, the confidential data of the judicial authorities, including information about witnesses, could be disclosed. The New York Times writes that some things that are of interest to attackers concerned people with “Russian and Eastern European” names.
