A magistrate judge’s email account was intruded into, and a sealed indictment was stolen, exposing sensitive court material tied to a federal case. The compromise was significant because it involved unauthorized access to a judicial account rather than a routine document mishandling. It also shows how a single account breach can compromise confidential filings and case integrity.
