GENEVA (AP) — The International Committee of the Red Cross says hackers broke into servers holding its data and gained access to personal, confidential information on more than a half-million vulnerable people.

The agency says the unprecedented attack involved information originating in at least 60 Red Cross and Red Crescent chapters around the world.
