At a committee hearing on oversight of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) told fellow lawmakers that “three hostile foreign actors” attacked the U.S. Courts’ document filing system as part of a breach in early 2020 causing a “system security failure.”
Nadler said the committee learned in March about the “startling breadth and scope” of the breach, which was separate from the SolarWinds hack revealed in late 2020. Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew Olsen testified to the committee that NSD is “working very closely with the judicial conference and judges around the country to address this issue” and committed to updating the committee on the investigation as it progressed.
