Cybersecurity, Tajani “Attacchi all’Italia da hacker filorussi, danger not to underestimate but without creating panic”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “Are we at war? Yes, it is not a war with weapons, the hybrid war uses technological tools to create problems for Western democracies. Among the hackers there are also the philosophers, all investigations lead east.” This was said by the vice-premier and foreign minister, Antonio Tajani, guest of “Mattino Cinque” on Canale 5. “We have been at work for a long time now, as far as Italy is concerned, they are philanthropic hackers. The French believe that it is Iran, in Italy we have no proof of this,” he added.

“I am of the idea that we must never underestimate the attacks of a hybrid war but not even create panic among citizens. For the moment they are attacks aimed at the institutions, in Italy it did not happen as in France, you do not have to create alarmism. We are able to protect ourselves, we are working to further improve our defenses and to those who say that you do not have to spend safely I say that this is security”, he said.

“I have responded ironically to hacker attacks, we must prove that you are not afraid. A serious state does not get intimidated, we respond to attacks, we protect data- Italians do not make themselves conditioned by those who want chaos, we must react.” On the F-35 hunting expenses, the minister pointed out that “we must defend our country, we have a duty to defend NATO’s borders. We decided to reach 5% of military spending, which are doing all NATO countries. The defense of the country must always be guaranteed.”.
