Cyber attack on International Criminal Court in The Hague; Hackers stole sensitive docs

NL Times  

The International Criminal Court in The Hague fell victim to a cyber attack last week, the court confirmed in a statement after reporting by NOS. A source told the broadcaster that the hackers gained access to a large number of sensitive documents, but an ICC spokesperson would not confirm that. In the statement released after NOS broke the story, the ICC said that it took immediate measures to minimize the consequences of the cyberattack and that it appreciated that the Netherlands was helping with that. The permanent international court investigates genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes, and has the authority to prosecute suspects across borders.
