The Threat Post reported on cybersecurity incident in U.N.O. caused by credentials theft.
A threat actor used stolen credentials from a United Nations employee to breach parts of the UN’s network in April and steal critical data, a spokesman for the intergovernmental organization has confirmed.
That data lifted from the network can be used to target agencies within the UN, which already has experienced and responded to further attacks linked to the breach, Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, told Bloomberg, which broke the news in a report published Thursday.
