WASHINGTON — The International Monetary Fund, still struggling to find a new leader after the arrest of its managing director last month in New York City, was hit recently by what computer experts describe as a large and sophisticated cyberattack whose dimensions are still unknown.
The fund told its staff and its board of directors about the attack Wednesday. It did not make a public announcement.
Several senior officials with knowledge of the attack said it was both sophisticated and serious. “This was a very major breach,” said one official, who said that it had occurred over the past several months.
