BAE Systems cyberattack disrupts US federal bankruptcy court systems

A cyberattack on BAE Systems knocked out the US Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC), which distributes official notices for federal bankruptcy courts. BNC websites and the National Creditor Registration Service are offline and notice production is paused. BAE Systems and the Administrative Office of US Courts are investigating, with no word on data exposure or attribution.

• BNC handles bankruptcy notices for all US federal bankruptcy courts
• bnc.uscourts.gov, bankruptcynotices.uscourts.gov and creditor registry are down
• BAE Systems says the incident is isolated to the BNC system
• No details yet on data exposure or who is behind the attack
