  "account": "Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced on Saturday that his personal data had been stolen and published on the dark web. He attributed the cyberattack to pro-Russian hackers, stating that they were targeting him due to Italy's stance on Ukraine. Tajani claimed that the criminals were prepared to pay for more information about him and his family, and emphasized that the attack posed new threats and intimidation risks. Italy, like other EU and NATO members, has provided assistance to Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia. Tajani vowed not to be intimidated and promised to continue defending his ministry and Italy. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni firmly blamed pro-Russian hackers for the breach, describing it as a grave concern that required urgent action. The incident adds to a series of alleged hybrid attacks by Russia, including drone incursions, sabotage in NATO territories, and threats against media outlets and airlines.",
  "summary": "Antonio Tajani has said hackers published personal data stolen from him as Giorgia Meloni blamed pro-Russia criminals for the incident. The news follows a string of bomb threats that have grounded flights across the EU.",
