Nicholas Moore, a 24-year-old from Springfield, Tennessee, is set to plead guilty to unauthorized access of the U.S. Supreme Court’s electronic document filing system. Prosecutors claim he hacked into the system on 25 separate days between August and October 2023. The court documents indicate that he obtained information from a protected computer, but specifics about the data accessed or the methods used remain undisclosed. Moore will appear via video link for his plea on Friday.
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, which is prosecuting the case, has not released further details. Spokespeople from both the court and the U.S. Department of Justice did not provide additional commentary on the situation. Moore's attorney, Eugene Ohm, also did not respond to inquiries. The breach is part of a troubling trend, as U.S. court systems have faced several hacking incidents in recent years. In response to these threats, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts announced in August that it had enhanced cybersecurity measures following a significant cyberattack attributed to Russian hackers.
