SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 27 – How corrupt is today's UN? UN officials' incompetence puts people at risk, physically and (here) virtually. UN whistleblowers write to Inner City Press, which Guterres and Melissa Fleming have banned from entering the UN to ask questions. Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric refuses to answer written questions, so we publish:
"Dear Inner City Press: air crews working for United Nations Mission in South Sudan have been apprehended for entering restricted area, smuggling weapons, engaging in illegal activities and trafficking drugs into South Sudan." UN, no answers.
Previously published, then confirmed:
"Matthew -- On 27 March 2024, UNDP became aware of online claims that one of its computer systems had been attacked. An unknown actor gained access to a locally hosted server in UN City in Copenhagen and copied certain information from those systems.
In the evening of 5 April, UNDP experienced a ransomware attack that compromised a system that is shared with other UN agencies. A locally hosted server had been targeted and ultimately compromised. Some HR and procurement data were exposed. This potentially includes Personal Identifiable Information (name, date of birth, social security number) of some past and current personnel, contractors, and suppliers." From the UN, nothing. Then confirmed.
We will have more on this - banned as we are from even entering the UN - watch this site.
