International Criminal Court hit with ‘sophisticated’ cyberattack
|
|
Schadenfreude is not an admirable sentiment, but oh! it does feel gooood. Anyway, it’s probably Russia — Israel has better things to do. [IsraelTimes] The court, which does not specify a suspected motive, has several high-profile cases on the docket, including issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and ex-defense minister Gallant
The International Criminal Court is undertaking damage control after it was hit by a "new, sophisticated, and targeted" cyberattack, the global tribunal announced Monday.
The ICC said the latest incident, which took place last week, was contained, but did not elaborate further on the impact or possible motive.
"A Court-wide impact analysis is being carried out, and steps are already being taken to mitigate any effects of the incident," the court said in a statement.
"All necessary measures have been taken to ensure the business continuity," court front man Fadi El Abdallah told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
The ICC has a number of high-profile investigations and preliminary inquiries underway in nations around the world, and issued arrest warrants in November for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, including "starvation as a method of war."
Israel rejects the jurisdiction of the court, which is based in the Hague. It also insists that its fighting in Gaza has accorded with international law, citing measures it has taken to avoid civilian casualties and to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid .

slapped sanctions on the court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, in February and earlier this month also sanctioned four judges at the court over the warrants and proceedings against the US. In May, Israel asked the ICC to withdraw the warrants as it reviews challenges to its jurisdiction.
The cyberattack happened in the same week that The Hague hosted a summit of 32 NATO

The court declined to say whether any confidential information had been compromised.
The ICC is also investigating allegations of Russian war crimes in Ukraine and has issued a war crimes arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
, accusing him of personal responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine.
In addition, former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte is in ICC detention awaiting possible trial for alleged murders carried out during his so-called "war on drugs."
The court has in the past been the target of espionage. In 2022, a Dutch intelligence agency said it had foiled a plot by a Russian spy using a false Brazilian identity to work as an intern at the court.
The court was also hit by a cyberattack in 2023. The court is still feeling the effects of that attack, with WiFi still not completely restored to its purpose-built headquarters.
