The Facts
The International Criminal Court (ICC) said Tuesday that its computer systems were hacked last week.
The ICC said that it detected "anomalous activity affecting its information systems" but that "immediate measures were adopted to respond to this cybersecurity incident and to mitigate its impact."
The Spin
Narrative A
While the ICC hasn’t disclosed how severe this cyber breach was, it may have cost significant volumes of data. There are countless bad actors out to punish the court or ruin its cases. The ICC must be better prepared because the stakes are too high.
Narrative B
In concert with its host nation, the Netherlands, the ICC is responding to this attack in kind and investigating how it occurred. The court understands the stakes and has taken precautions in the past — but it’s always going to have to integrate more technologies into its security to keep up with an evolving online threat environment.
