Red Cross cyber attack exposed data on 515,000 vulnerable people

GENEVA (AP) - The International Committee of the Red Cross, which is best known for helping war victims, says hackers broke into servers hosting its data and gained access to personal, confidential information on more than a half-million vulnerable people.The Geneva-based agency said Wednesday the breach by unknown intruders this week affected data about some 515,000 people "including those separated from their families due to conflict, migration and disaster, missing persons and their families, and people in detention." It said the information originated in at least 60 Red Cross and Red Crescent chapters around the world."An attack on the data of people who are missing makes the anguish and suffering for families even more difficult to endure," Robert Mardini, the ICRC's director-general, said in a statement. "We are all appalled and perplexed that this humanitarian information would be targeted and compromised."ICRC said the breach targeted an external contractor in Switzerland that stores data for the humanitarian organization, and there was no indication the information had been publicly shared or leaked.Agency spokeswoman Crystal Wells said that while the ICRC cannot say for certain that the records were stolen "we feel it is likely.

Who betrayed Anne Frank? Cold case team reaches 'most likely scenario' in WWII mystery

Anne Frank (L) is pictured in an archive image, alongside a detail of the diary of the wax figure of Anne Frank and their hideout reconstruction (R) at Madame Tussauds on March 9, 2012, in Berlin, Germany. (Photos by: Photo 12/Universal Images Group AMSTERDAM - A cold case team that combed through evidence for five years in a bid to unravel one of World War II's enduring mysteries has reached what it calls the "most likely scenario" of who betrayed Jewish teenage diarist Anne Frank and her family.Their answer, outlined in a new book called "The Betrayal of Anne Frank A Cold Case Investigation," by Canadian academic and author Rosemary Sullivan, is that it could have been a prominent Jewish notary called Arnold van den Bergh, who disclosed the secret annex hiding place of the Frank family to German occupiers to save his own family from deportation and murder in Nazi concentration camps."We have investigated over 30 suspects in 20 different scenarios, leaving one scenario we like to refer to as the most likely scenario," said film maker Thijs Bayens, who had the idea to put together the cold case team, that was led by retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke, to forensically examine the evidence.Bayens was quick to add that, "we don’t have 100% certainty.""There is no smoking gun because betrayal is circumstantial," Bayens told The Associated Press on Monday.The Franks and four other Jews hid in the annex, reached by a secret staircase hidden behind a bookcase, from July 1942 until they were discovered in August 1944 and deported to concentration camps.Only Anne’s father, Otto Frank, survived the war.
