The gas war is also being fought online. The note of Costanzo, Aidr

Hacker attacks have continued incessantly in recent weeks against public and private health facilities but also against large Italian companies in the energy sector such as ENI and GSE.

According to Biagino Costanzo, head of AIDR's Securty Observatory, it is very likely that it is no coincidence and that it is a project planned to hit strategic infrastructures also in view of the upcoming elections in September.

The groups that claim these massive ransomware attacks change names but they always find the same behind them. Also in this case BlackCat is the son of the more famous Darkside and Revil.

It is now clear that the attacks are also focused on energy-intensive structures and by those who blackmail threatening the total interruption of the gas supply with the real risk, in the future, of fomenting economic difficulties, discouragement, anger up to social disorder. . And in the country of the Nimby (not In My BackYard - not in my yard) where we could and for years become more autonomous if only we had pushed and not blocked the necessary infrastructures, the soil is more fertile.

President Draghi did well, concludes the AIDR note, to immediately convene together with Prefect Gabrielli the Interministerial Committee for Cybersecurity to take stock of what is happening and Undersecretary Gabrielli affirmed that "we live in the time of digital , of the cybernetic ", in which" the hybrid threat has long since taken precedence over physical warfare ". 

We had already talked about prevention and finally the government has inserted a bis rule in the Aid decree to allow our intelligence to take counter measures in the cybernetic field in the face of "threats that involve aspects of national security and cannot be faced only with resilience actions" , or to anticipate an attack to carry out a counter-offensive.
