Russia has been accused of playing a role in a recent cyberattack targeting the computer system responsible for managing electronic records of the United States federal court system, according to a report by The New York Times published on Tuesday. Investigators are said to have uncovered evidence suggesting Russian involvement in the breach, though it remains unclear whether Russia acted as the primary perpetrator or was part of a broader group of actors responsible for the intrusion.

The compromised system is critical for handling sensitive judicial documents, including sealed records and filings related to ongoing criminal investigations. A separate report by Politico highlighted fears that the hack may have exposed the identities of confidential informants, potentially endangering their safety and affecting ongoing legal proceedings.

The investigation into the cyberattack is still underway, with authorities working to determine the full scope of the breach and assess the potential national security implications.
