OTTAWA (Reuters) - The U.N. aviation agency on Friday said that 11,929 individuals had been affected by the unauthorized release of recruitment application data records from April 2016 to July 2024.

The International Civil Aviation Organization this week reported a security incident, saying a threat actor known as Natohub claimed to have released 42,000 records.

"After completing careful review of the data, ICAO can now confirm that 11,929 individuals are affected. ICAO is now reaching out to these individuals," it said in a statement.
