FULL STORY

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has confirmed recently suffering a
cyberattack - noting a new, sophisticated and targeted attack was spotted
through the courts alert and response mechanism. 

Since spotting the attack, the organization claims to have contained it, and
is now working to mitigate any effects. 

No other details were disclosed, so we dont know who the threat actors are,
what the nature of the attack was, and if it left any consequences. 

Links to Gaza

Established in 2002 and operating independently from the United Nations, the
ICC is a tribunal based in The Hague, Netherlands, which prosecutes
individuals for the most serious crimes concerning the international
community. 

That includes war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and more, with
some media linking this attack to the atrocities happening in Gaza at the
moment. 

In its report, Cybernews states the ICC has been under increased scrutiny for
issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for
alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. 

A similar sentiment was reported by Times of Israel , which also stressed 
that there is a warrant for former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallat, as
well. 

Israel rejects the jurisdiction of the court, and argues that the fighting in
Gaza complies with international law. US president Donald Trump recently
sanctioned chief prosecutor Karim Khan and three other judges because of the
warrants, Politico reports. 

This isnt the ICCs first cyberattack, either, and Khan warned that the
organization needs to tighten up on security, since future attacks are 
likely, as well.
