The UNDP is grappling with a major cybersecurity incident following a deliberate cyberattack on its Copenhagen IT systems.

The late March cyberattack led to the theft of sensitive human resources data, compromising personal information.

The 8Base ransomware gang has publicly claimed responsibility for the breach.

This cyberattack is not an isolated event but part of a concerning pattern of digital threats targeting humanitarian agencies.

Efforts are underway by the UNDP to determine the full ramifications for the over 350 affected individuals and to strengthen defenses against subsequent cyber threats.
