By [email protected] (The Hacker News)

AI Summary

Thomson Reuters disclosed that its C-Track court case management platform (sold by West Publishing Corporation) was breached in March 2026, with unauthorized access to files from courts in 11 U.S. states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Ontario, Canada — discovered on June 30, 2026. Exposed records may include SSNs and sealed court data, posing serious risks to individuals involved in sensitive legal proceedings. The 3-month discovery gap underscores persistent blind spots in breach detection for legal infrastructure providers.
