On Oct. 15, 2026, the Administrative Office of the US Courts announced that all access to the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) systems operated by BAE Systems is unavailable, including bnc.uscourts.gov, bankruptcynotices.uscourts.gov, notices.uscourts.gov and the National Creditor Registration Service. BAE Systems described the incident as isolated to the Bankruptcy Noticing Center system. Federal bankruptcy courts continue to accept filings and open new cases during the outage.
The Administrative Office of the US Courts and BAE Systems have not provided an estimated restoration date for the Bankruptcy Noticing Center services.
The Administrative Office of the US Courts said it is communicating with impacted bankruptcy courts and coordinating with BAE Systems on response and restoration. Some federal bankruptcy courts have issued administrative orders extending deadlines or providing relief where the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) outage prevents parties from receiving required notices. The Administrative Office of the US Courts said electronic filing notifications to registered attorneys, trustees and the United States Trustee continue to be sent despite the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) outage. The Administrative Office of the US Courts said creditors and debtors rely on bankruptcy notices for hearing dates, filing deadlines and case outcomes, which are disrupted by the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) outage.
