The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is currently investigating a potential data breach that may have resulted in the theft of tens of thousands of records. The breach has been linked to a "threat actor known for targeting international organizations."
In an official statement, ICAO confirmed it is "actively investigating reports of a potential information security incident" that could have compromised personal data, including names and addresses. The agency stated it has implemented "immediate security measures" and is conducting a thorough investigation.
A spokesperson for ICAO informed Reuters via email that the investigation was initiated following claims made by a hacker on a forum, alleging the theft of up to 42,000 records in a recent breach. However, ICAO has refrained from providing further details at this stage, noting, "At this early stage of our investigation, we cannot provide additional details about the incident or confirm specific claims about the data potentially involved."
