Court hearings become ransomware concern after justice system breach

#### Executive summary: The Court Services Victoria audiovisual network suffered a cybersecurity incident detected December 21, 2023, which may have allowed attackers to access recordings of court hearings from approximately November 1–December 21 (with a small number of earlier recordings possibly affected). CSV says the audiovisual network is isolated from employee and financial systems; investigations are ongoing, affected parties are being notified, IDCARE and law enforcement are involved, and experts have suggested a likely ransomware double-extortion scenario possibly linked to the Qilin group though no public data release has been confirmed.
