A cyber-attack on the World Food Programme (WFP) has compromised the personal information of approximately 600,000 households in Gaza. This incident, described as possibly the largest breach of humanitarian beneficiary data, involved unauthorized access to a registration application where Palestinians register for food and cash assistance. The exposed data includes names, ID numbers, mobile numbers, and location details. WFP confirmed the breach on June 2, citing the unauthorized access to its self-registration application for Palestine.
