Pennsylvania Courts Unaffected by Ransom Demand in Recent Cyberattack

The Pennsylvania state courts agency confirmed it did not receive or pay any ransom demand following a cyberattack that temporarily disrupted online services.

• Pennsylvania's state courts experienced a denial of services cyberattack earlier this month, leading to a temporary shutdown of some online portals.
• No ransom demand was issued by the attackers, and the courts did not engage in any communication or payment to the attackers.
• The cyberattack did not compromise any data or prevent the courts from operating on a normal schedule.
• A federal investigation into the cyberattack is ongoing, with neither the courts nor federal agencies identifying the attacker.
• The attack is part of a rising trend of cyberattacks targeting major institutions, with similar incidents reported in Kansas and against major tech companies.
