Hackers hit Vatican

The Italian police have exposed hackers who installed spyware on the computers of a number of employees of the Roman Curia - including Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the Pontifical Council for Culture. This was reported by the Italian newspaper «Corriere della Serra», writes Blagovest-info.

"The most "terrible" thing they could read is my blessing and exegetical texts," – said in this connection Cardinal Ravasi, acknowledging that the news stunned him.

According to the newspaper, spyware could also infect the computers of the "Good Shepherd" house, where the Cardinals stop on their transit visit to Rome.

In connection with the hackers’ case, the police reported on January 10 about the arrest of two people – apart from the Vatican, criminals tried to hack computers of a number of state institutions, politicians and businessmen.

The police suspect a 45-year-old nuclear engineer and his 49-year-old sister of the attack on secret information – including that relating to national security.
