BAE Systems has been impacted by a cybersecurity incident that has disrupted the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC), a system operated by BAE Systems that produces and transmits bankruptcy notices for all federal bankruptcy courts around the country.
The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts has been in communication with the impacted courts and is also coordinating with BAE Systems. BAE is actively investigating this incident and working to restore operations. Two districts, including the Eastern District of Texas and the District of South Carolina have issued orders regarding processes during this time.
As a result of the incident, all access to the BNC systems and websites that BAE operates on behalf of the judiciary and the related bankruptcy noticing process are unavailable at this time, including bnc.uscourts.gov, bankruptcynotices.uscourts.gov, notices.uscourts.gov, and the National Creditor Registration Service. The incident has also halted the BNC’s production and distribution of bankruptcy notices for bankruptcy courts. Read the release from the District of Colorado Bankruptcy Court.
