Arizona court system breach exposes residents' data
Hackers broke into Arizona's state court system and copied personal information belonging to "many Arizonans," the Arizona Supreme Court said on Friday.
The announcement came from Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer. She said the courts were targeted by criminal hackers "or their bots." The court has not said how many people are affected, what kind of data was taken, or how the attackers got in.
"Court leaders believe the criminal hackers copied personally identifiable information about many Arizonans," Timmer said in a statement. "The Supreme Court's Administrative Office of the Courts is in the process of alerting as many people as possible whose information it believes the criminal hackers copied."
