A 24-year-old hacker from Gela has been arrested in Rome for infiltrating several critical Italian justice systems.

Over four years, he accessed sensitive files, including police reports and judicial orders, by breaching cybersecurity defenses.

His latest attempt to hack the Ministry of Justice's systems was thwarted by the postal police, leading to his arrest.

The investigation, led by the Naples prosecutor's office, aims to uncover the intended recipients of the stolen information.

This case highlights the severe threat posed by cybercrime, prompting officials to revert to paper communications to avoid interception.
