Arizona Supreme Court says hackers stole residents’ personal data

The Arizona Supreme Court announced Friday that the state’s court system was attacked by hackers who stole the personal information of “many Arizonans.”

Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer said in a statement that the state court system was targeted by criminal hackers “or their bots.”

“Court leaders believe the criminal hackers copied personally identifiable information about many Arizonans,” Timmer said. “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.” 

A spokesperson for the court system told Recorded Future News that the incident did not involve ransomware and the hackers have not issued ransom demands for the stolen data as of Monday. 

Timmer said the court would not release further details about the incident because they may impact the investigation into the attack.
