On 4 February 2026 the pro‑Russian hacktivist collective NoName057(52) launched a coordinated DDoS campaign against Italian institutional websites and services linked to the Milan‑Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cortina hotels; internal security measures largely blocked the attack early, preventing major outages or data leaks, though several Olympic‑related sites and a restaurant experienced temporary disruption.
