‘Nothing like the Louvre’: Italian art museum hit by cyberattack – POLITICO

Italy's top art museum has been hacked potentially leaving its security systems vulnerable to future robberies, as the opposition accuses Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government of not doing enough to protect the country's artistic heritage.

A cyberattack targeted Florence’s Uffizi Galleries earlier this year, the museum confirmed Friday, as Italian media alleged the breach forced authorities to move parts of its famed collection to secure vaults.

But the Uffizi stressed in a note shared with POLITICO that the incident was “nothing like the Louvre,” which was recently forced to close parts of its operations following a major heist in October last year, disrupting access and forcing its director to resign in February.
