The recent investigations in Milan, together with others that have highlighted illicit practices related to dossier collection, raise questions about the seriousness of the behavior of those who can exploit illegally obtained data. This data is not only used for profit, but also to target political opponents, undermining the foundations of democracy. This was the observation of the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, during question time in the Senate. Furthermore, Piantedosi underlined that the prevention and reaction measures against cyber threats by the Postal Police have been expanded. Specific territorial operational units have been created, coordinated by the Cnaipc, which have managed over 25 thousand significant cyber attacks between 2022 and 2023. In the first eight months of 2024, these units have faced more than eight thousand attacks. A section of the Strategic Anti-Terrorism Analysis Committee has also been established dedicated exclusively to the cyber threat. These initiatives aim to strengthen the ability to respond to digital challenges in the context of national security.
The investigation into cyber attacks and the news that emerges daily on the issue are alarming. We are witnessing a national security system that shows clear vulnerabilities, used by the right wing in government for questionable purposes such as dossiers and internal conflicts.
A social media game turned into a case of extortion against a young man. A 30-year-old foreign woman ended up in trouble after being reported by the Carabinieri of Fontanellato, in the province of Parma, for threatening a 15-year-old boy to pay her money so as not to publish compromising images that could damage her reputation.
