Friday afternoon the Federal court system was hit by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. The attack took down PACER.gov the site for accessing the electronic court filing database and uscourts.gov along with several other websites.
No one has come out to claim responsibility for the attack, but an email obtained by POLITICO from a Federal court clerk says "new national cyberattack on the judiciary,". A spokesman for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts stated that it was a denial-of-service attack, and they were still investigating the attack and who was responsible.
