The activity carried out following the hacker attack by the Russian-speaking group Lockbit makes it possible to "avert the feared non-payment of December salaries and thirteenth salaries in favor of the employees of some indirectly impacted local administrations". This was announced by the National Cybersecurity Agency. The slowdowns in digital services that occurred this morning, he adds, "are due to congestion of concurrent accesses and are not a direct consequence of the attack."
The Cybersecurity Agency informs that it has been "in contact with Westpole S.p.A. and PA DigitaleS.p.A. for several days. to give them maximum support in containing the inefficiencies due to the cyber attack. The activity carried out has allowed the restoration of all the impacted services, as well as the recovery of the data subject to the attack for more than 700 of the national and local public entities, linked to the supply chain of PA Digitale S.p.A". For the remaining Administrations - there are about 1,000 public entities contractually linked to PA DigitaleS.p.A. for the provision of management services of various kinds - "there remains the need to recover data dating back to the 3 days prior to the attack, which took place on 8 December", adds the Agency.
