The State Department added that the hack 'had real consequences' and 'harmed the global humanitarian network.'
People in war zones and other dangerous areas may not be easily reunited with family members now that a hacker has targeted the International Committee of the Red Cross , the U.S. State Department said in a statement Wednesday.
The hackers also reportedly gained access to information on about 2,000 Red Cross volunteers, as the cyber invasion marks a rare attack on one of the world's most well-known humanitarian organizations. In the United States, the American Red Cross is most well-known for its work following natural disasters, helping displaced Americans in the aftermath of deadly events. It is also notable for its many blood drives held in communities throughout the nation.
Price added that the State Department was concerned that the hack"had real consequences: This cyber incident has harmed the global humanitarian network's ability to locate people and reconnect families."
