Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced he and his family have been targeted by cybercriminals who published their personal data on the dark web and solicited further information. Tajani stated he would not be intimidated and framed the attacks as part of an escalating "hybrid warfare" campaign, calling for a response from G7 nations.

The incident coincides with a wave of cyber breaches across Italy and Europe attributed to pro-Russian hacking collectives, including the group Noname. Other recent Italian targets include digital systems linked to the Brenner Base Tunnel construction project, travel company Smartbox, and several political and judicial figures. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed concern over the developments, which follow cyber disruptions affecting commercial sectors, aviation, and public infrastructure across multiple European countries.
