The US Department of Justice reports that the hackers moved across its internal network and accessed the email accounts of “around” 3% of its employees, but not any classified systems. The federal judiciary’s electronic case management and filing system suffered “an apparent compromise,” according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
