International Criminal Court swats away 'sophisticated and targeted' cyberattack
The International Criminal Court (ICC) says a “sophisticated” cyberattack targeted the institution, the second such incident in two years.
It said the attack was detected and contained, and that mitigating steps are already being taken to manage its effects.
The ICC did not detail what these “effects” were, nor did it elaborate on exactly what kind of attack it contained.

And generate wealth for data brokers. Meanwhile, designers and managers of the digital infrastructure on which the world depends are engaged in a never-ending effort to thwart attempts, by both criminal enterprises and state actors, to exploit vulnerabilities in those systems.
