>The US embassy in Rome allegedly involved in the hacking attack
I checked out the Ambassador and he looks to be fine, no motives.
I looked at his #2 Deputy Chief of Mission Thomas Smitham and I find this bio:
"Thomas Smitham

If I had to point a finger at the U S Embassy on Via Veneto I'm talking to this guy who goes back to Clinton.
