The Russian hackers of Killnet have announced the launch of a global cyber attack against the USA, Germany, UK, Italy, Latvia, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Ukraine.
This was reported in a tweet by the independent Belarusian news site Nexta Tv.
Meanwhile, in Italy, the Police site has suffered an attack by pro-Russian hackers of the 'Killnet' collective
, the same ones who in recent days have hit some institutional sites including those of the Senate and Defense and who have tried to block Eurovision .
The action, which began last night, was faced by Police technicians supported by specialists from the National Anti-Crime Center for the Protection of Critical Infrastructures (Cnaipc) of the Postal Police, for the progressive restoration of the full functionality of the site.
The Killnet collective on its Telegram channels claimed responsibility for the attack
: "according to foreign media - we read - Killnet attacked Eurovision and was blocked by the Italian police. But Killnet did not attack Eurovision. Today, however, we officially declare. war on 10 countries, including the deceptive Italian police. By the way - the hackers conclude - your site has stopped working: why was the attack not dealt with like Eurovision? ".
The attack did not cause damage to the infrastructure but limited itself to saturating the connections and resulted in a slowdown.
