(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 29 - After the Ddos (Distributed denial of service) attacks that hit various institutional sites in recent days, the pro-Russian hackers of the KillNet group are once again threatening Italy.
"May 30 - 05:00 the meeting point is Italy! ', Reads a message posted on Telegram by the collective. In a subsequent message, Killnet jokes:" I have always been interested in a question: does Russia generally support our activities?
Since we will make an irreparable blow in Italy due to the war with Anonymous.
Will we at least be remembered in our homeland? "Previously Anonymous had made the pro-Russian site 'killnet.ru' inaccessible, declaring war on 'rival' hackers.
The Rome prosecutor's office has opened an investigation file on the attacks of recent days and has delegated the investigations to the specialists of the Postal Police.
The National Lacy Security Agency, for its part, reported that Ddos-type attacks can make sites unavailable for a certain period of time but do not affect the integrity of the systems.
Attention is in any case high in view of a possible high quality of the offensive campaign: companies and institutions have been invited to raise their telematic defenses against the risk of intrusions.
