Red Cross asks hackers not to “leak” personal data of 515,000 people online

The Red Cross is asking hackers not to leak confidential information online as one of its third-party data storage contractors in Switzerland was hacked, leaking the personal information of 515,000 people. All of these people were part of the Restoring Family Links program, which helps reunite families torn apart by war, natural disasters, migration, and so on.

The ICRC’s most serious concern in the aftermath of this attack is the potential risks associated with the disclosure of sensitive information to the people the Red Cross Red Crescent network seeks to protect and help, as well as to their families. When people go missing, their families and friends experience great anxiety and uncertainty.

Almost nothing is reported about the attack itself and the technical details of what happened in the Red Cross, since the representatives of the organization are much more worried about the possible leakage of stolen data.

The Restoring Family Links website, where you can submit a request for help finding missing family members, has been temporarily closed, while the Red Cross is investigating the incident.
