In February 2014, the Internet Governance Forum (formed by the United Nations for policy dialogue on issues of internet governance) was attacked by hacker collective known as Deletesec. Although tasked with "ensuring the security and stability of the Internet", the IGF’s website was still breached and resulted in the leak of 3,200 email addresses, names, usernames and cryptographically stored passwords.
