Personal information for over 1 million people stolen in a cyberattack on Arizona’s court system

  • On September 24, a cyberattack on the Arizona Supreme Court compromised personal data of approximately 1.3 million people enrolled in the state's FARE program, a court debt collection initiative.
  • Arizona Supreme Court spokesperson Alberto Rodriguez said the breach occurred after a court employee clicked a malicious link in a phishing email, triggering an investigation into the unauthorized access.
  • Beyond debtor records, attackers accessed more than 150,000 confidential Foster Care Review Board reports dating to 2010 and nearly 30,000 active or inactive orders of protection.
  • Analyst Erin Meehan warned victims face "lifelong consequences" if identities are stolen, while advocate Lori Ford criticized that "no parents have been notified" of the breach affecting foster care records.
  • Officials notified the FBI and confirmed no court records were altered or deleted, though the court continues identifying affected individuals to help them "mitigate the damage" from the incident.
