Cyberattack on UNDP Breaches HR and Procurement Data

In March 2024, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) experienced a major cyberattack that compromised sensitive data, including human resource and procurement information. The UNDP has begun a comprehensive investigation and is making efforts to mitigate the damage, but the breach poses significant implications for ongoing initiatives aimed at addressing global socio-economic challenges. The attack may also damage trust in the organisation’s ability to protect sensitive information.
