Reuters reports:
The International Criminal Court (ICC) said on Tuesday its computer system had been hacked, a breach at one of the world’s most high-profile international institutions and one that handles highly sensitive information about war crimes.
The ICC said it had detected unusual activity on its computer network at the end of last week, prompting a response that was still ongoing. A spokesperson declined to comment on how serious the hack was, whether it has been fully resolved, or who might be behind it.
Given that the court issued an arrest warrant last year for Vladimir Putin on charges of illegally deporting Ukrainian children, and given that there was a prior incident where it appeared someone tried to infiltrate the court, it would not be surprising to hear that this latest incident is Russian-sponsored. But at this time, there is no evidence or information that has been released as to what may have been accessed, or what any investigation has revealed.
