Italy says it thwarted a campaign of DDoS attacks attributed to "Russian origin" that targeted multiple diplomatic missions (including consulates in Washington, Sydney, Toronto and Paris) and sites connected to the 2026 Winter Olympics; pro‑Russian group NoName057(16) claimed responsibility and around 120 targets were reportedly affected but the incidents caused limited disruption and no technical details or IoCs were released.
