Arizona Court Breach Exposes Data of 1.3 Million People

The unauthorized access was detected by technology staff who managed to isolate and shut down the intrusion on a backup server within two hours. While the investigation remains ongoing, court officials report that no records were altered or deleted during the incident. The stolen database includes 30,000 active and inactive protection orders, alongside 150,000 records from a board tasked with evaluating parental fitness in foster care cases.

State Supreme Court spokesperson Alberto Rodriguez stated that there is currently no evidence the stolen data has been shared or exploited. The breach notably spared information regarding jurors, witnesses, and court employees, and officials confirmed that current legal proceedings have not been delayed. The court has since initiated the notification process for those impacted by the security failure.
