Italy blames pro-Russian hackers for leak of foreign minister's data

On Saturday, Italy's prime minister blamed pro-Russian hackers for leaking the foreign minister's data on the dark web. The foreign minister says the cyberthreat is ongoing. Earlier in the week, a French bank reported about 100 million euros in fraudulent transfers, and France's blood service reported tampering with cold store controls.

  • Italy's prime minister attributes the leak of the foreign minister's data to pro-Russian hackers.
  • On Thursday, Credit Mutuel Arkea said hackers made fraudulent transfers of around 100 million euros ($112 million) to other banks. The bank says the attack is contained and clients' accounts suffered no losses.
  • On Wednesday, France's national blood service said hackers raised temperature and defrosting thresholds at three cold stores holding blood products. Alarms let technicians intervene before products were compromised.
