How Eurovision was targeted by pro-Russian hackers

The Eurovision Contest was targeted by hackers, with Italian police revealing that pro-Russian groups were behind the attack

Authorities say the hacking attempts occurred during Tuesday’s Semi-final and Saturday’s final of the song contest.

The police cybersecurity department blocked multiple cyber attacks that occurred during voting and the performances.

The “Killnet” and “Legion” hacker groups were found to be behind the attempts.

Police investigated the Russian group’s Telegram channels, finding key details including locations, that helped them to stop other critical events.

Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra won the Eurovision contest, performing folk hip-hop song Stefania, a song that has now become an anthem for war-torn Ukraine.

Killnet claimed other attacks that occurred on May 11, targeting the Italian government and other institutions.

Western countries have become more wary of possible cyber attacks since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at the end of February.

AI safety experts warn rapid advancements could outstrip humanity’s ability to manage risks, threatening jobs and global stability.


A leading AI safety researcher has raised the alarm over the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, warning that technology may soon outpace humanity’s ability to implement effective safeguards. British scientists say the world might not have enough time to prepare for the safety risks posed by cutting-edge AI systems.

AI capabilities are reportedly advancing exponentially, with performance in some areas doubling every eight months. Researchers predict that within just five years, machines could outperform humans in most economically valuable tasks, raising concerns about the stability of jobs, the economy, and national security.

Experts are calling for urgent, increased research into AI behaviour and control mechanisms. Without stronger oversight and safety measures, they warn that advanced AI could become difficult—or even impossible—to manage, potentially creating serious global risks.
