Russian hackers target Tajani's family: private phones of wife and children on the dark web

The hacker group NoName057(16) has escalated its intimidation campaign against Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani by exposing personal information about his family. Profiles of his wife and children, including private phone numbers, have surfaced on the dark web, raising concerns about how this sensitive data was obtained. The group has publicly thanked individuals for sharing information about Tajani and his family, indicating a market for private information. This marks a shift in their tactics, as they now target not only public officials but also their family members. The hackers have threatened those listed in their 'Tribunal' section, which includes various officials involved in cybersecurity. The exposure of personal contacts poses risks of harassment and targeted scams, highlighting the dangers of such data being available online.
