Palazzo Chigi: 'The hacker attacks on supermarkets had a limited impact, obsolete systems were used'

From the first investigations it emerges that in Italy the impact of the attacks is currently highly limited: few commercial units were affected, compared to the thousands present throughout the national territory, mostly still equipped with obsolete security systems, with interfaces exposed directly on the Internet and deficiencies in the authentication mechanisms. Most of the distribution chain is instead equipped with updated protection systems, capable of repelling malicious intrusions.

Thus a note from Palazzo Chigi after the meeting of the undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano together with the minister Francesco Lollobrigida with the leaders of the services and the National Cybersecurity Agency.

The postal police have launched investigations to shed light on the attacks. According to what we learn, there are currently two episodes and they occurred in Sicily and Emilia Romagna.
