Sapienza University of Rome experienced a cyberattack that forced shutdowns of network systems and widespread service outages; reporting links the incident to BabLock (Rorschach) ransomware and a pro‑Russian actor called Femwar02. Italian CSIRT, the Agenzia per la Cybersicurezza Nazionale (ACN) and Polizia Postale are investigating, recovery is being attempted from reportedly unaffected backups, and data exfiltration has not been confirmed.
