ICC Cyberattack Chaos: When Hackers Crash the Justice Party!
The International Criminal Court (ICC) recently faced a “sophisticated” cyberattack, marking the second such incident in two years. This digital drama unfolded against a backdrop of high-stakes investigations, including those involving Russia’s actions in Ukraine. It seems even in cyberspace, justice has its share of plot twists.
Hot Take:
In the cloak-and-dagger world of international justice, it seems the ICC is playing a never-ending game of cyber whack-a-mole. With their servers under siege by mystery hackers, perhaps they should consider hiring a cybersecurity team that knows the difference between a phishing scam and a phishing trip. Who knew prosecuting war crimes would require a side gig as an IT specialist?
