Overview

  • The International Criminal Court identified a new “sophisticated and targeted” cybersecurity incident late last week as NATO leaders gathered in The Hague.
  • This is the second major cyberattack on the ICC in under two years, following a 2023 breach linked to espionage attempts.
  • Spokespeople confirmed that the intrusion has been contained and that systems are secured ahead of a comprehensive court-wide impact analysis.
  • The ICC has declined to specify any data loss or motive and has not attributed the attack to any actor.
  • Protecting sensitive war-crimes investigations remains paramount as the court pursues arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin, Rodrigo Duterte and Benjamin Netanyahu.
