Overview
- Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi convened the Comitato nazionale at the Viminale on Tuesday to assess a recent wave of DDoS attacks, infrastructure intrusions and false bomb alerts.
- Officials concluded the incidents share a clear aim to create destabilization and harm trust in institutions while forensic probes continue and no single command has been proven.
- The committee approved reinforced monitoring of vulnerable systems, closer investigative coordination among police, intelligence and the national cyber agency, and faster information exchange with companies.
- A dark‑web list published by the hacker group NoName057(16) naming 18 people, including senior officials, is under judicial review even as its link to the broader campaign remains unresolved.
- Italy’s response builds on recent moves to centralize cyber work — such as the Farnesina Sala Cyber — but leaders warned that fragmented responsibilities across agencies require sustained investment and clearer operational ties.
