Security, Tajani: “Are the attacks on France Iranian? Pro-Russian hackers are targeting Italy”

Rome, 9 Nov. (LaPresse) – “The hybrid attacks targeting Italy are certainly the work of pro-Russian hackers. We do not know whether the government is behind them. We cannot say it is Russia, but they are pro-Russian hackers by their own admission.” This was stated by the Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, at a press briefing on the sidelines of the G7 Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Paris, in response to a question asking for his comments on reports that the attacks on fridges in France could be linked to a network affiliated with the Iranian Pasdaran. “We shall see who is behind the other attacks in Europe,” he added, “but these are certainly attacks taking place at the same time.”
