Meloni blames pro-Russian hackers for targeting Italian foreign minister

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni attributed a cyberattack involving the Italian foreign minister’s personal data to pro-Russian hackers who were purportedly motivated by the NATO country’s strong support for Ukraine.

Meloni said on Saturday she stands by Antonio Tajani, who also serves as vice president of Italy’s Council of Ministers, “over what has come to light regarding the activities of pro-Russian hackers and the dissemination of personal data relating to him on the dark web.”
