Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has blamed pro-Russian hackers for publishing the details online.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani alleged on Saturday that hackers were targeting him due to Italy's support for Ukraine. Tajani's personal data was reportedly circulating on the dark web as cybercriminals sought additional information, putting both him and his family at risk. In a statement, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed her concern over the sale of confidential information concerning public officials, emphasizing the need for decisive action.
