Cyberattack on International Criminal Court

The International Criminal Court (ICC) faced a significant cybersecurity threat in September, when it fell victim to a sophisticated cyberattack aimed at espionage. The attackers targeted highly sensitive data, including crucial documents and witness testimonies tied to investigations of war crimes. This breach, whose perpetrators are still unidentified, posed a direct challenge to the court's authority and its ongoing investigations into high-profile cases, such as those in Ukraine and the Palestinian Territories. The cyberattack underscores the vulnerabilities faced by global institutions and the serious implications of such breaches on international justice.
