Last week, the International Criminal Court (ICC) experienced a breach in its systems, prompting the ICC to disclose the cyberattack this Tuesday after detection.
The ICC implemented measures to mitigate the impact of the cybersecurity incident. The organization is presently collaborating with Dutch authorities, given that the Netherlands serves as the host country for the ICC, conducting an investigation into the incident. The ICC expressed gratitude for the host country's cooperation and swift response to the situation.
Furthermore, the ICC outlined plans to bolster its cybersecurity defenses, including an expedited adoption of cloud technology, to enhance its overall security measures.
Specific details about the nature and extent of the cyberattack, as well as its impact on the ICC's systems, remain undisclosed.
There is no available information indicating whether the perpetrators managed to access or exfiltrate any data or files from the network. The ICC is focused on analyzing and mitigating the incident's impact while ensuring the continuation of its core operations.
The organization, being an international tribunal, investigates and prosecutes severe offenses affecting the international community, such as war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
Established in 2002 after the entry into force of the Rome Statute, the ICC currently consists of 123 member states as of March 2023. However, the ICC's spokesperson stated that detailed information regarding the incident cannot be provided at this time.
