Thomson Reuters unit investigates C-Track hack after unauthorized access
The company said the incident involved C-Track files obtained without authorization, and affected some court records containing personal information.
Thomson Reuters said a unit detected a cybersecurity incident on June 30 involving its C-Track case management platform used by courts in 11 U.S. states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada, according to the company and statements from the chief justices of Ontario courts that use the system.
The company said a subsequent investigation found that an unauthorized party obtained certain C-Track files in March. It also said some court records were affected and could include names and personal information.
A website set up by the West Publishing unit of Thomson Reuters said the incident hit court systems in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Thomson Reuters said it took containment and security steps, engaged external cybersecurity experts, notified law enforcement, and secured the C-Track environment, and that there was no operational disruption to C-Track. A spokesperson said its products and services remain fully operational, while the chief justices said it was unclear what specific information may have been compromised.
