The International Criminal Court (ICC) has confirmed a recent cyberattack described as 'new, sophisticated, and targeted' which has been contained and is being mitigated.
No responsible threat actors have been identified yet, and the details of the attack, including any consequences, have not been disclosed.
The ICC operates independently from the United Nations and focuses on prosecuting individuals for serious international crimes, with recent media reports linking the cyberattack to the indictment of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes in Gaza.
Given the history of the ICC being targeted and its controversial cases, such as the indictment of Netanyahu, tightening security measures is being emphasized to prevent potential future cyberattacks.
