ALL IT ATTACKS IN THE LAST MONTHS

The one at Moncler is just the latest of the cyber attacks perpetrated on Italian organizations and companies in recent months.

Between 7 and 8 November a cyber attack hit the MediaMarkt servers blocking the computer systems. The giant MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group controls the well-known electronics chain of Mediaworld. The cyber attack against the group that manages Mediaworld took place through ransomware, a virus that blocks access to computer systems and unlocks them only after paying a ransom.

A few days before Mediaworld, the San Carlo was over in the hackers' target. On 26 October, a ransomware-type hacker attack hit the Milanese company leader in the production of potato chips. Agi had revealed it first . From what the agency directed by Mario Sechi learns, the company would have received a ransom request after a cryptolocker-type ransomware attack called “Conti”. It is the same type of the one that hit the Lazio Region in August , and similar to the one that hit Siae the week before .
