BAE Systems, the British contractor that maintains the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) — the system that produces and transmits notices for all federal bankruptcy courts — said no data was extracted and no personally identifiable information was breached during a cyber intrusion announced on 22 October that caused outages across the courts. "No other systems were affected. No data was extracted. There was no breach of any PII," a spokesperson said, as the Administrative Office of the US Courts confirmed services are resuming. No actor has claimed responsibility. Federal court officials declared a Bankruptcy Rules emergency, allowing judges to extend deadlines; it lasts 90 days through January 2027, which the courts expect to remain necessary through the restoration period. The incident disrupted a high-volume, time-sensitive national process with no operational fallback — a reminder of the single points of failure in court-system infrastructure.
