Italy’s Energy Agency Website Back Online After Malware Attack

Italy’s energy agency Gestore dei Servizi Energetici SpA said its website is back online after a ransomware attack last week.

(Bloomberg) — Italy’s energy agency Gestore dei Servizi Energetici SpA said its website is back online after a ransomware attack last week.

“GSE and all the competent authorities are working on reconfiguring systems and operativity of services,” the agency said in a statement Tuesday.

Oil giant Eni SpA also said last week that its internal protection systems had detected unauthorized access to its networks, though the consequences appeared to be minor. 

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi discussed hacker attacks on Eni and other energy companies with senior officials at a high-level security meeting last week, according to people familiar with the matter.
