A criminal investigation has been initiated after a data breach linked to C-Track, a third-party vendor for the North Dakota Supreme Court, affected the court's information. The North Dakota Court System was notified in late July about the breach that may have involved sensitive state Supreme Court data. C-Track, owned by Thomson Reuters, confirmed the breach affected multiple U.S. jurisdictions and Ontario, Canada, after unauthorized access to records in their cloud environment was detected on June 30.
Public disclosure occurred on September 2, over five months after the initial breach. The breach potentially compromises personal information, although the identity of the attacker remains unknown.
