Cybersecurity, Tajani: Russian hacker attacks on Milan-Cortina sites and embassies anticipated
This was revealed by the foreign minister speaking to reporters in Washington before attending a meeting on critical minerals
"We anticipated a hacker attack on a number of Foreign Ministry offices, starting in Washington, and also on some sites in Milan Cortina, with the hotels in Cortina". This was revealed by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, speaking to journalists in Washington before attending a meeting on critical minerals and specifying that the matrix would be Russian. 'This,' he claimed, 'thanks also to the work that our new security directorate general did with the reform of the foreign ministry. We anticipated an attack because this action was being prepared, so cybersecurity also becomes crucial. I am very pleased about that'. The matrix? "It is Russian hackers," the minister reported.
Iran, concerns over nuclear escalation
"We hope that the two negotiations underway, the one between the Russians, the Ukrainians and the Americans, can succeed, just as we hope that the talks between the Americans and the Iranians to avert a war and defrost an attack can succeed". Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said this at a press point in Washington before attending the opening of the Critical Minerals Conference convened by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
"I am in contact with all the mediators to support all the mediation actions to prevent force from prevailing over dialogue, but it also depends on what the Iranians will respond to the American demands, above all what worries us is the Iranian nuclear escalation, so I hope that the IAA inspectors can go to Iran again to see what is happening. It could be a first signal that the Iranians could give to the US, but to the whole international community there is no need for atomic escalation at this time'.
