  • BAE Systems confirmed the Bankruptcy Noticing Center—which processes notices for all U.S. federal bankruptcy courts—has been fully restored after a two-week outage with no data extraction or PII breach.
  • A 90-day emergency declaration remains in effect through January 2027, giving judges authority to extend deadlines and issue orders to manage the disruption.
  • The incident's cause and whether it was a cyberattack remain officially unspecified; no hacker group has claimed responsibility.
  • The system is processing a backlog of notices dating to October 7, with paper notices between October 13 and October 28 flagged as delayed due to the incident.
