An Italian member of the hacktivist collective Anonymous targeted the Vatican website for a second time in under week on Tue. March 13, knocking the website offline and penetrating deeper into the city state’s server to steal the personal information of multiple Vatican Radio journalists.
Although the Vatican confirmed that they had been hacked, but claimed that much of the information the hacktivist gathered was useless.
“There was a second attack we are aware of directed against the [Vatican IP] address,” said a Vatican spokesman today. “[Concerning] Vatican Radio, a database on an old server was accessed. Thirty percent of the information on the server was so outdated it was of no use.”
