Italy hit by cyberattacks after Meloni's Kyiv visit

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 23 - Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has said Wednesday's wave of cyberattacks on Italian companies and public institutions were "a threat, a warning" after Premier Giorgia Meloni visited Kyiv on Tuesday and reiterated Italy's support for Ukraine after the Russian invasion.
    The impact of the attacks was curtained by cyber-defence systems.
    The pro-Russian NoName057 group claimed responsibility for the attacks in a statement on Telegram in which it referred to the government approving a sixth package of military aid to Ukraine and accused Italy of being "Russiaphobic". (ANSA).
