(Bloomberg) — Italian Premier Mario Draghi discussed hacker attacks on oil giant Eni SpA and other Italian energy companies with senior officials at a high-level security meeting Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter.
Draghi and his undersecretary for security, Franco Gabrielli, held discussions at a meeting of the so-called Interministerial Committee for Cybersecurity, said the people who declined to be named as the discussions were not public.
A spokesman for the Italian government declined to comment.
Eni said Wednesday its internal protection systems had detected unauthorized access to its networks, though the consequences so far appeared to be minor.
Earlier in the week, Italy’s energy agency GSE said that it suffered a breach on Sunday night and Monday morning.
