The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has become the victim of a hacker attack. The ICRC announced at its headquarters in Geneva that unknown persons had stolen the data of more than 515,000 particularly vulnerable people.
These include "people who have been separated from their families due to conflict, migration and disasters, missing persons and their families and people in detention". The attack was discovered "this week" and it is unclear who was behind it.

The hackers were targeting an external company in Switzerland that was storing data on behalf of the ICRC. So far there is no evidence that the compromised information has been made public, the ICRC wrote.
The greatest concern is the "potential risks associated with this breach, including the disclosure of confidential information, to the people the Red Cross and Red Crescent network seeks to protect and support, and their families," it said ICRC with. The data came from at least 60 national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies around the world.
