Italy’s foreign ministry website has come under cyberattack, Silicon Republic reports. The attack has not disrupted services, according to the report.
Why it mattersThe incident puts a government website in the crosshairs, but the available account gives no details about the attackers or how they got in. With no reported outage, the immediate question is what officials disclose about the incident and any risk to data. Should governments publish more about attacks that cause no visible disruption, or wait until they know what happened?
