Hacker attack on Atac, site offline. Also affected were the Ministry of Transport and the Postal Police
Italy still victim of attacks by Russian hackers. The NoName collective, already the protagonist of several violations of Italian and European institutional sites, claimed on its Telegram channel that it had taken the sites of the Ministry of Transport and Atac, the Roman public transport company, offline in the morning, including the section of ecommerce that allows the sale of tickets and the renewal of season tickets. As far as we have been able to verify, the sites are actually offline.
The Noname group has made headlines quite frequently in recent months. After Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's visit to Ukraine, he began targeting various Italian institutional sites and carried out about ten attacks. All in the same way: a bombardment of requests to site servers capable of blowing them up, and consequently creating a disservice.
Meanwhile, in these hours a series of attempted hacker attacks, whose origin is not yet clear, would have been launched against the site of the online police station of the postal police and against that of the economy and finances. However, according to reports from Ansa, the computer sabotage would have failed. According to what the Postal investigators explain, these are Dos attack attempts, with which an attempt is made to prevent users from accessing the network or computer resources. The NoName hackers confirm the attack on the Postal Police: "We launched a Ddos attack on the Italian Postal Police website, now it is no longer available to foreign IPs".
