LockBit and the Italian Revenue Agency

The prolific cyber criminal gang, LockBit, have released screens shots apparently showing that they have stolen 100GB of data from the Agenzia delle Entrate, or the Italian Government Tax Department.

At the moment only a small sample of the data has been made public by LockBit, to convince the Italian Government to pay the extortion demand before 1 August 2022. However a statement released by an Italian Government owned IT company stated that the initial investigations had revealed no data breaches.

The investigations are ongoing.
