Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani says he has been targeted by "cyber-criminals" who published his personal data online because of his country's support for Ukraine.

"For days now, cyber-criminals have been publishing my personal data on the dark web and seeking further information, effectively exposing me to new threats and intimidation," Tajani wrote on X.

He did not specify the nature of the threats, but said the hackers were also targeting his family.
