NoName057(16) (Threat actor): news timeline & CVEs

Italy’s Foreign Ministry Under Cyberattack as Embassy Sites Come Under Review

Italy's Foreign Ministry says its website is under cyberattack, so far mitigated, while embassies are reviewed.

On October 8, Italy's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said its website was under cyberattack but protection systems had prevented disruption. The ministry is working with Polo Strategico Nazionale and reviewing Italian embassy and consulate sites. It did not identify the attacker or attack type, and said it will work with Romania and other EU states on proposals to designate actors behind attacks on Italian institutions. The report associates the incident with pro-Russian hacktivist group NoName057(16) and a DDosia target list that included the ministry and several embassy sites.

Network Segmentation Failures Are Expanding the Corporate Attack Surface

Forescout finds nearly half of OT and medical segments also hold IT or IoT, widening lateral movement.

Forescout analyzed 47,700 real-world network segments and found the average held 54 devices spanning IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT. Nearly half of segments with OT or medical devices also contained IT or IoT, and only 2% of IP-camera segments held cameras alone. Forescout says mixed segments enable lateral movement: Akira used poorly segmented cameras to bypass EDR in early 2025, and pro-Russian NoName057(16) was linked to more than 300 IP-camera takeovers in 2026, including Estonian and Canadian targets.
