Hacked sites restored says cyber agency

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 22 - Italian institutional websites hacked by Russian hackers early Wednesday have now been restored, Italy's cyber agency said Wednesday evening.
    The National Cybersecurity Agency - in reference to the cyber attacks that hit some institutional sites in the morning - intervened both by pre-alerting the targets and by providing them with collaborative support for effective damage mitigation and functional recovery, it said.
    The Agency also worked in conjunction with the Postal Police.
    To date, the affected sites have been restored and have resumed normal operation, the agency said.
    On the same occasion, the CNA provided suggestions for the implementation of protection and threat containment measures.
    On the website of Csirt Italia, the Agency's Computer Security Incident Response Team, operational indications for the management of Ddos attacks are available. (ANSA).
