Italian cyber-police get revenge attacked
2011-07-27
The communications police unit admitted it had been hacked but didn't confirm or reject that any info had been thieved, while judiciary condemned an "unprecedented" attack that had breached Italy's security. The assault dubbed Operation Italy "revealed some of the most vital and most secret reports of the cyber police on illegal and unethical practices," hacker groups LulzSec and secret asserted in an announcement on a blog. The leaked reports "will show abuses committed in Europe by the CNAIPIC ( State Centre against Cyber Crime and for the Protection of Vital Framework )," they announced on the site anonops-ita.blogspot.com. The info released by the hackers so far is composed of 8 megabytes of documents on a spread of Italian executive interplay with ministries and business groups in Australia, Belarus, Egypt, Russia and Ukraine. Hackers expounded the documents represented only 1 p.c of the total cache. "We are working to try and understand the size of what happened," the police unit expounded. "We have to determine if documents have been taken and which ones." Emanuele Fiano, a lawmaker from the opposition Democratic Party, declared : "This cyber attack against the police task force is of a rare gravity." He revealed he would propose new laws to tighten up on hackers "in order to boost this basic facet of our nation's security." Another Democratic Party assistant, Ettore Rosato, asserted the assault was "very worrying," adding : "We are waiting to be told about the files released by the hackers. If they're originals, this is an act of rare seriousness." In their statement on Monday, the hackers expounded their move was "a reply also to the direct attack against our chums from secret who in the last few days have been detained both in Italy and in Europe and the United States." Rather than maintaining a low profile after the arrest of sixteen folks in the U. S. and 5 in Europe in an investigation controlled by the FBI against unnamed, hackers have announced that they'd dilate their struggle. Four weeks ago LulzSec told a cap on its hacking campaign after an arrest in The UK while it stated that it was depending on sympathisers to keep on.
