Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Monday that government is more focused on
the Russian cyber attacks Italy has already come under than the
scenario depicted by a Financial Times report saying that Moscow
is preparing violent acts of sabotage on European
infrastructure.
"I'm thinking more about cybernetic attacks than the risk of
attacks from Russia like the Financial Times says," Tajani told
Mediaset television.
"We have suffered cybernetic attacks.
"For example when (Ukraine President Volodymyr) Zelensky's plane
landed at Ciampino (airport in Rome last year), there was a
cybernetic attack on the foreign ministry website.
"There are always attacks but they are always repelled because
we are on alert and we are equipped to defend ourselves.
"A cybernetic attack is one thing, a military one is another".
