The investigation found that 11 IMF email accounts were hacked. The affected accounts have been made secure again. So far, there is no evidence of any other accounts being compromised. The investigation into this incident is still ongoing.
The IMF takes prevention of, and defense against, cyber incidents very seriously and, like all organizations, operates under the assumption that cyber incidents will unfortunately occur. The IMF has a robust cybersecurity program in place to respond quickly and effectively to such incidents.
In response to questions about who was behind the attack and what information was accessed, a spokesperson told media: “For security reasons, we cannot disclose further details. We cannot confirm attribution.”
The IMF is a global lender that provides extensive financial support to governments worldwide. The organization faced a similar cybersecurity incident in 2011.
