Cyberattacks, the "black October" of Italian logistics: NoName strikes MIT and companies for two weeks

In October, the pro-Russian hacker group NoName launched a series of DDoS attacks targeting Italy's logistics sector, causing significant operational disruptions. The attacks, which lasted over two weeks, affected public platforms and transport companies, leading to halted shipments and unresponsive business portals. The first attack struck the public contracts hub linked to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, followed by assaults on various logistics firms and even the Ministry of Defense. Analysts have termed this period the "black October" for Italian logistics, highlighting the shift from mere website disruptions to serious impacts on operational functionality.
