BAE Systems Cybersecurity Incident Disrupts Bankruptcy Court Operations Across the U.S.
A cybersecurity incident at BAE Systems has halted U.S. federal bankruptcy notices nationwide, with cause and data impact unconfirmed.
The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts said on October 15, 2026, that a cybersecurity incident at BAE Systems took down systems supporting the Bankruptcy Noticing Center. BAE operates those systems for the Federal Judiciary, and notice production and distribution for every federal bankruptcy court has stopped. Officials have not said whether the event was ransomware, an intrusion, or data theft, and no actor, malware, CVE, or restoration date has been confirmed. Creditors and attorneys are advised to use court dockets directly and treat unsolicited “restored notice” emails as suspicious.
