“Russian hacker attacks on Milan-Cortina sites and embassies foiled”: Tajani’s revelation

“This – he claimed – is also thanks to the work that our new general directorate of security has done with the reform of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We anticipated an attack because this action was being prepared, so cyber security also becomes fundamental. I am very satisfied with this”. The matrix? “They are Russian hackers,” the minister reported.

The one about the presence of Ice agents following the American delegation “is a controversy raised in Italy that really makes me smile”, said the deputy prime minister. “These are three ICE officials who will come to work in the consulate in Milan to collaborate on the security of the Games. They are not the agents employed in Minneapolis, they are another branch of the organization that has nothing to do with public order activities”, explained Tajani.

“We have always said that public order in Italy is made by the Carabinieri, policemen and financiers and they will be the ones to guarantee the safety of the games”, he added.

A hotel’s website was also targeted

The website of a hotel is also in the sights of pro-Russian hackers. According to what we understand, this would be the Noname057 group, often the protagonist of Ddos attacks. Precisely on the occasion of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games, all eyes are focused on cybersecurity: a team from ACN will be operational in support of a team from the Milan-Cortina Foundation.
