Vodafone Italia suffered a data breach incident after one of its commercial partners, FourB S.p.A., which operates as a reseller of telecommunications services in the country, suffered a cyberattack.
The cyberattack took place in the first week of September and resulted in the compromise of sensitive subscriber details.
The exposed information includes subscription details, identity documents with sensitive data, and contact details.
Even KelvinSecurity offered to sell a collection of 295,000 files totalling 310 GB of data they allegedly stole from Vodafone Italia and advertised the cache on messaging platforms and at least one hacker forum.
