Italy's Meloni blames pro-Russian hackers for cyberattack on minister

Antonio Tajani has said hackers published personal data stolen from him as Giorgia Meloni blamed pro-Russia criminals for the incident. The news follows a string of bomb threats that have grounded flights across the EU.

Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on Saturday announced that personal data had been stolen from him and published on the Darknet . Italy, like other EU and NATO member states, has provided humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine as it continues to defend itself against a nearly five-year Russian invasion .

The foreign minister did not specify what kind of information had been shared but suggested the criminal activity targeting him remained ongoing.
