The US Marshals Service is still recovering from a February ransomware attack on a computer system holding sensitive law enforcement data and will soon bring a new version of the system online with better security
“Most critical tools” related to the affected computer network “were restored within 30 days of the breach discovery” in February, US Marshals Service spokesperson Drew Wade told CNN in an email, declining to explain what those critical tools were. The hack affected a computer network used by a secretive Marshals Service unit known as the Technical Operations Group , which provides surveillance capabilities to track fugitives, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The Washington Post first reported on the lingering effects of the hack and that it involved the TOG. It’s unclear who was behind the ransomware attack or whether the hackers demanded a ransom for the data they stole from the Marshals Service. Wade declined to comment, citing an ongoing investigation. It’s also unclear what data was taken by the hackers; a previous Marshals Service statement said simply that data was “exfiltrated” from the computer network.
