The Italian Postal Police, which monitors the internet and telecommunications networks, is conducting an operation against the Russian hacker group Noname, which has attacked resources of various institutions across Europe since 2022. As part of the investigation, five arrest warrants have been issued for members of the group.
This was reported by Ansa.
It is noted that the operation is coordinated by the Rome Prosecutor's Office, and at the international level, the investigation is being coordinated by Eurojust and Europol.
According to Italian law enforcement, the Russian hacker group NoName057(16) has carried out thousands of attacks since 2022 on government websites, public administration platforms, public transportation infrastructure, banking institutions, medical facilities, and telecommunications in several European countries, including Italy.
