"ICC: September Breach Was Espionage Raid"

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has recently revealed that a September cyberattack on its IT systems was a highly targeted espionage attempt, although attribution thus far remains elusive.  The ICC noted that based on the forensic analysis carried out, the court has already taken and will continue to take all necessary steps to address any compromise to data belonging to individuals, organizations, and states.  Should evidence be found that specific data entrusted to the court has been compromised, those affected would be contacted immediately and directly by the court.  The ICC has not yet been able to confirm who was behind the incident, although Dutch law enforcers are continuing with their criminal investigation.  Prosecutors are currently said to be investigating 17 cases in Ukraine, Uganda, Venezuela, Afghanistan, and the Philippines.  The ICC also issued a global arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin back in March, putting the Russian state top of the list of suspects for this cybersecurity breach.
