Pro-Russia collective NoName057(16) launched a new wave of DDoS attacks on Italian sites

Pro‑Russia hacktivist group NoName057(16) launched a new wave of DDoS attacks against multiple Italian targets — including Linate and Malpensa airports, the Transport Authority, ports in Taranto and Trieste, and banks such as Intesa San Paolo — claiming the operations were retaliation for President Mattarella’s statements; the Italian National Cybersecurity Agency intervened and neutralized the attacks early, with only minor impact reported. The article notes the group’s history since 2022, its prior use of botnets (e.g., Bobik), and its pattern of escalating activity during geopolitical events.
