Approximately 20 Italian websites, including those of banks and airports, were targeted by alleged pro-Russia hackers, according to Italy’s cybersecurity agency, which linked the attack to recent tensions between Rome and Moscow.
Earlier this month, Italian President Sergio Mattarella drew parallels between Russia’s war on Ukraine and the expansionism of Nazi Germany before World War II. This comparison sparked outrage in Moscow, but was defended by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
The cyberattacks, carried out by the pro-Russian hacker group Noname057(16) on Monday, targeted the websites of Intesa Sanpaolo, Banca Monte dei Paschi, Iccrea Banca, and Milan’s Linate and Malpensa airports, among others. However, they did not cause significant disruption, according to the cybersecurity agency.
Intesa Sanpaolo and SEA, the company that manages Milan’s airports, declined to comment. A spokesman for Iccrea Banca stated that the bank experienced no disruptions. Banca Monte dei Paschi did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Italian cybersecurity agency reported that the hacker group cited Mattarella’s remarks as motivation for the cyber attack. In December, Noname057(16) claimed responsibility for another cyber attack on Italy, targeting around 10 institutional websites.
