A pro-Russian hacker group, NoName57, attacked Italian government websites on Tuesday in retaliation for Italian President Sergio Mattarella's speech comparing Russia's invasion of Ukraine to Nazi wars of conquest. The group targeted the defense, interior, and transport ministry sites, causing intermittent access issues. The hack follows earlier attacks on Italian banks and transport agencies. Mattarella had called for Russia to respect international law, prompting backlash from Russia's foreign ministry.
