NoName057(16) hackers target European officials and Italian leaders

NoName057(16) hybrid warfare cyberattack Antonio Tajani dark web

The pro-Russian hacking group NoName057(16) has published a list of 18 individuals it labels as “enemies of the Russian Federation” on the dark web. The list includes high-ranking Italian officials such as Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, Rome Chief Prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi, Head of Postal Police Ivano Gabrielli, and the Mayor of Aviano, Paolo Tassan-Zanin.

In addition to Italian targets, the list contains several European figures, including Eurojust President Michael Schmid, German criminal police chief Holger Münch, and German magistrate Benjamin Krause. The group has reportedly offered financial rewards to users who provide new private information, such as phone numbers and email addresses, regarding the listed individuals.

Minister Tajani described the incident as a form of hybrid warfare intended to influence public opinion and divide Europeans. He has called for the issue to be addressed during the G7 foreign ministers' meeting. Italian authorities, including the Postal Police and intelligence services, are investigating the breach, which has resulted in the leak of personal data belonging to Tajani and his family members.
