Overview

• The Ministry of Defence confirmed a cyber attack on Guido Crosetto’s personal X profile and disavowed the material published from it.
• At least two posts solicited cryptocurrency donations by invoking recent events, including Giorgio Armani’s death and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
• Crosetto wrote that intruders appeared able to operate the profile simultaneously with him, and his warning post was later removed.
• The ministry said it is working with competent authorities to restore full security, and the incident remains under investigation.
• An official alert advised users that content from the compromised profile should not be considered authentic.
