Recent US investigations have found evidence indicating Russia behind the penetration of federal court regulations in the United States, specifically the document management system that includes sensitive information on national security cases, according to a report published by “The New York Times”.
The report did not confirm the identity of the party that directly penetrated, whether it was a branch of Russian intelligence or other parties, but he indicated that this penetration was the result of the efforts of many years of attempts.
The penetration has caused the documents of some cases in the New York City Partial Court as well as several other judicial areas, with some cases related to Russian citizens and Eastern Europe, according to the New York Times.

For their part, Peter Kaplan, the official spokesman for the administrative office of the American courts, and the spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice, refused to comment on this matter.
The officials of the US court system also announced that they have taken additional measures to protect the American court network, including the system of managing cases and electronic cases files, a system known as the presence of many gaps in which it depends on ancient systems as stated in the report.
