A source close to the Italian
foreign ministry said Friday that the 2016 hacking attack that
The Guardian reported on was "an affair that was already known
about". The source added: "following the first attack, there was
an immediate reinforcement intervention. It is good to reiterate
that they were not attacks on the encrypted information system
through which the most important and sensitive information
travels, but the system to manage the emails of foreign minister
and embassy personnel".
