A pro-Russian hacker group,
NoName057(16), on Monday launched a series of cyberattacks on
Italian bank and transport sector websites, linking the move to
President Sergio Mattarella recently comparing Russia to the
Third Reich in relation to its invasion of Ukraine.
The group called Mattarella "Russophobic" after it launched a
new series of DDoS (distributed denial of service) attacks
against the websites of Italian entities, including Milan's
Linate and Malpensa airports, the Taranto and Trieste port
authorities and the Intesa San Paolo bank.
The attacks did not initially have any impact on the services
provided and the National Cybersecurity Agency started the
support and mitigation work with the entities affected.
