THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The International Criminal Court is undertaking damage control after it was hit by a “new, sophisticated, and targeted” cyberattack, the global tribunal announced Monday.

The ICC said the latest incident, which took place last week, was contained, but did not elaborate further on the impact or possible motive.

“A Court-wide impact analysis is being carried out, and steps are already being taken to mitigate any effects of the incident,” the court said in a statement.

“All necessary measures have been taken to ensure the business continuity,” court spokesman Fadi El Abdallah told The Associated Press.

The ICC has a number of high-profile investigations and preliminary inquiries underway in nations around the world, and issued arrest warrants in November for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza, including “starvation as a method of war.”

Israel rejects the jurisdiction of the court, which is based in the Hague. It also insists that its fighting in Gaza has accorded with international law, citing measures it has taken to avoid civilian casualties and to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid.

US President Donald Trump slapped sanctions on the court’s chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, in February and earlier this month also sanctioned four judges at the court over the warrants and proceedings against the US. In May, Israel asked the ICC to withdraw the warrants as it reviews challenges to its jurisdiction.

The cyberattack happened in the same week that The Hague hosted a summit of 32 NATO leaders at a conference center near the court, with tight security, including measures to guard against such attacks.

The court declined to say whether any confidential information had been compromised.

The ICC is also investigating allegations of Russian war crimes in Ukraine and has issued a war crimes arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of personal responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine.

In addition, former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte is in ICC detention awaiting possible trial for alleged murders carried out during his so-called “war on drugs.”

The court has in the past been the target of espionage. In 2022, a Dutch intelligence agency said it had foiled a plot by a Russian spy using a false Brazilian identity to work as an intern at the court.

The court was also hit by a cyberattack in 2023. The court is still feeling the effects of that attack, with WiFi still not completely restored to its purpose-built headquarters.
