 The denial-of-service attack hit uscourts.gov, as well as other
federal court websites around the country, a spokesman for the
Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts told Politico. PACER, the
court system access page that provides information on cases, and its
electronic filing system also were affected.
The spokesman said the court system was investigating to determine
who was responsible.
The blockage meant that attorneys could not file documents and that
documents could not be retrieved online.
Reuters was not immediately able to confirm the report.
