The International Criminal Court in The Hague fell victim to a cyber attack last week. The court announced this after questions from NOS. The ICC does not want to say how big the attack was and what type of attack it was.

A source tells NOS that a large number of sensitive documents have been captured, but the ICC does not want to confirm this. A spokesperson said that the attack is being investigated in collaboration with the Dutch authorities. It will also be examined whether a foreign government is behind the attack.

The International Criminal Court in The Hague investigates genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes and prosecutes suspects. The information that the ICC has is very sensitive. It may be interesting for suspects to know whether they are being investigated and who is being heard by the ICC as witnesses.
