Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said his personal data had been published on the dark web and that he and his family were now exposed to threats and intimidation. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed solidarity with him, blamed pro-Russian hackers, and called the sale of confidential information about government officials a matter of grave concern. Tajani did not specify what data was shared and did not name a suspect, though he said the threat was ongoing. Italian press reports (ansa.it) say the Rome prosecutor's office opened a probe into the publication of data on Tajani and on Postal Police chief Ivano Gabrielli, and that the material had reportedly been online for at least two weeks. The same report attributes the activity to the pro-Russian group NoName057(16), while thenextweb.com notes that this attribution was not confirmed.
