Data on Tajani and Gabrielli found on the dark web; Rome public prosecutor launches investigation
The proceedings could involve charges of unauthorised access to a computer system and making threats
The Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation into the dissemination on the dark web of personal data and requests for information concerning the Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, the Head of the Postal Police, Ivano Gabrielli, and the Rome Public Prosecutor, Francesco Lo Voi. As the case falls within its jurisdiction, the matter concerning the latter will be referred to the Perugia Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Charges of unauthorised access to a computer system and making threats have been brought
The proceedings could involve charges of unauthorised access to a computer system and making threats. The investigation has been entrusted to specialists from the National Cybercrime Centre for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure (Cnaipic). The data is believed to have been on the dark web for at least two weeks, and the attack is thought to be the work of pro-Russian hackers known as “Noname057(16)”.
