Italy's civilian infrastructure under cyber siege, Meloni warns

Italy's government has raised alarm over hacking incidents targeting government officials. Prime Minister Meloni's Friday statement came as Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani disclosed that cybercriminals had targeted him personally, sharing his private data online in retaliation for Italy's support for Ukraine. Separately, hoax bomb threats have disrupted European air travel this week.

According to The Local Italy, Tajani stated he was being targeted by "cybercriminals" who were sharing his personal data online because of Italy's support for Ukraine. The Guardian and Deutsche Welle reported that more than 30 European flights were subjected to security alerts or diversions this week, with some threats claiming to originate from far-right Russian groups.
