Data is from people “separated from their families due to conflict, migration and disaster, missing persons and their families, and people in detention.”
More than 515,000 “highly vulnerable people” had their personal data compromised this week after a sophisticated cyberattack targeted the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
The humanitarian agency announced Wednesday that the attack “compromised personal data and confidential information” from people “separated from their families due to conflict, migration and disaster, missing persons and their families, and people in detention.”
Data from least 60 Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies globally were affected by the attack. It is unclear who is responsible, but the agency does not believe the data has been leaked yet.
