An all-Italian cyber gang of hackers and police officers steals national strategic data
The Varese investigation group of the Carabinieri arrested six individuals accused of stealing confidential data and information from various "national strategic databases" for economic and personal purposes. Among these sensitive information leaks, four were placed under house arrest, while the other two were subject to restrictive measures.
Therefore, we are talking about large-scale "archiving" activities commissioned by many major companies, with a well-known private investigation company at its center. A statement from the prosecutor's office confirmed that the investigation was conducted under the supervision of a judge from the Milan Anti-Mafia District and the prosecutor. After a series of searches, it is speculated that the information was commissioned to be stolen and then sold, including confidential data that also involved political representatives.
The suspects implementing preventive measures include former police officers, hackers, and consultants. It appears that all activities conducted by the group were commissioned, with political representatives also involved. A press conference was held on Saturday, [Date], with the participation of Giovanni Melillo, the National Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor.
The term "dossier" refers to the systematic collection of information about one or more individuals, often without their consent, with the purpose of establishing a detailed profile. This dossier may include personal, professional, financial, or private life data, and typically contains sensitive or confidential information. The dossier can be used in various situations, such as:
- Politics: Collect materials that can be used to discredit opponents.
- Business: Obtaining information about competitors or conducting negotiations.
- Journalism: Investigating public figures or companies.
- Extortion or blackmail: In extreme cases, threatening or exerting pressure on someone.
Therefore, archiving is an illegal or invasive method of obtaining sensitive personal information. This practice severely infringes on privacy and constitutes criminal offenses, such as unauthorized access to databases. The illegal collection and use of personal information may violate data protection regulations and constitute espionage or stalking, leading to serious legal consequences for the perpetrators.
