The head of Italy's privacy watchdog
Antonello Soro said Tuesday that reports of information
technology attacks "reached the threshold of 140 a day" in May.
In the authority's annual report to parliament, he said
notifications of data breaches increased by "over 500%" after
May 25, when new European Union rules on personal data came into
force.
He said that such breaches had "affected over 333,000 people"
since March.
Soro also called on journalists to be beacons that people
could use to find their bearings in a post-truth world.
