Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani stated that his personal data has been published on the dark web alongside a bounty for further information. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni accused pro-Russian hackers of orchestrating the leak and expressed grave concern over the incident. Tajani believes the data breach is linked to his stance in support of Ukraine and the Foreign Ministry's efforts to strengthen its digital defenses. Currently, Italy is coordinating with allied nations to address the situation.
