Chinese hackers have launched several cyberattacks on the Vatican's computer network in recent months.
According to Qadin.Net, this was reported by The New York Times.
According to the publication, the hackers targeted the Vatican's computer network and the scientific mission of the Holy See, which de facto represents the Vatican's interests in Hong Kong.
The cyberattacks came on the eve of talks on the Pope's appointment of bishops in China.
It was not immediately clear if the hackers obtained any classified information.
