(Reuters) -The United Nations' civil aviation agency is investigating reports of a "potential information security incident" following a claim that tens of thousands of its records had been stolen, the organization said on Monday.
The Canada-based International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) said in a brief statement posted on its website that the potential security breach was possibly tied to "a threat actor known for targeting international organizations."
