Italian police have uncovered a major international computer-hacking operation that compromised private communications at the Vatican.
Police in Rome announced the arrest of two engineers who are suspected of illicitly obtaining “information relative to state security.” The hackers, who were not identified, were described as London residents in their 40s. They had reportedly gained access to computer servers operated by Italian government leaders and European banking officials.
The operation also penetrated the Vatican, police reported. Hackers gained access to computers used by Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, at the Pontifical Council for Culture. They also hacked into computers at a Vatican guest house regularly used by prelates visiting Rome, and gained access to thousands of email messages.
Vatican officials have not yet commented on the hacking operation, and Italian police have not indicated how many of the pirated message might have involved sensitive information.

It was the Russians!
Maybe this will bring down Dope Francis.
Will Francis have mercy on the hackers?
Just as he has had mercy on the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate?
It was Obama. One last parting shot before he leaves.
i am loving this stuff. i cannot get enough of the liberal marxist globalists losing.
Such as communications between Francis and his toadies plotting more destruction of the Church? Maybe Julian Assange can assist.
I hope the emails are all made public, especially those of Francis' houseboy, Msgr Ellie Vaetor Ricci.
Pope Francis wants “absolute transparency,” pushes Vatican reform
It’s those religious guys from Malta!
I suspect there will be a Vatican Wikileaks
Dang Russians.
Finally found out the answer to Stalin’s question: “ How many divisions has the Pope?’
Another reason for using Latin.
