Latest cyber-attack ‘contained’, says ICC
The International Criminal Court (ICC) says that it detected “a new, sophisticated, and targeted” cyber-security incident last week.
The court said that the attack had been “swiftly discovered, confirmed, and contained” through its alert and response mechanisms.
“A court-wide impact analysis is being carried out, and steps are already being taken to mitigate any effects of the incident,” an ICC statement said.
Campaigns
The incident is the second of this type against the ICC in recent years, after an attack reported in October 2023.
The court described the 2023 incident as “a targeted and sophisticated attack with the objective of espionage”.
It warned at the time that disinformation campaigns targeting the ICC and its officials could be anticipated in an effort to tarnish the court’s image and delegitimise its activities.
