Security News This Week: The US Court Records System Has Been Hacked

In response to recent cyberattacks, the federal judiciary said its been in the process of implementing new safeguards to address the judiciary’s ongoing exposure to “constant and sophisticated” cyber threats.

The incident highlights longstanding warnings that the judiciary’s systems are outdated and vulnerable. A top federal judge told Congress in June that CM/ECF and PACER face “unrelenting security threats” and need urgent replacement.

Instagram’s latest feature—a searchable map showing user-posted content tagged to specific locations—has sparked a wave of privacy concerns, CNBC reports. Rolled out this week, the feature lets users explore photos and videos by browsing a visual map interface.

But users quickly raised alarms about the potential for stalking, harassment, and data misuse, especially for influencers and others posting real-time content from identifiable locations. “Instagram randomly updating their app to include a maps feature without actually alerting people is so incredibly dangerous to anyone who has a restraining order and actively making sure their abuser can’t stalk their location online,” one viral post warned.

Instagram said the feature only shows content from public accounts and reiterated that users can turn off location tagging. Still, the backlash echoes broader concerns about how tech platforms rapidly aggregate and expose personal data in ways that outpace users’ expectations and consent.

Hackers stole data from Google’s customer support system in a breach linked to a compromised Salesforce account, TechCrunch reports. The intrusion, disclosed Wednesday, affected an undisclosed number of Google customers and involved unauthorized access to data such as contact details and “related notes for small and medium-sized businesses.”

The attackers reportedly targeted the data through Salesforce cloud systems. Google’s Threat Intelligence Group pinned the attack on ShinyHunters, a hacking group known for targeting large companies’ cloud-based databases, including Salesforce systems.

The breach affecting Google follows similar attacks on Cisco, Qantas, and Pandora, where attackers used voice phishing to trick employees into granting access. Google says the group may be preparing a leak site to extort victims and is linked to other cybercriminal collectives like The Com, which has a history of hacking and extortion.

A cyberattack on Columbia University compromised the personal information of nearly 870,000 individuals, including students, applicants, and possibly staff, Bloomberg reports. The stolen data includes contact information, academic records, financial aid details, and some health and insurance information, according to draft letters, intended for victims, obtained by the news outlet.

The breach, which dates back to mid-May, was only publicly acknowledged after Columbia filed reports with state attorneys general in California and Maine. A university official previously claimed the perpetrator was politically motivated. The school claims it has implemented new safeguards and continues to notify affected individuals.

The incident preceded a campus-wide IT outage in June. The school reportedly suspected a potential cyberattack at the time.
