Italy probes Revolut-linked government email breach

Italian authorities have launched an investigation into a government email breach linked to the Revolut data leak. CoinTelegraph reported the probe follows a warning from the national cyber agency regarding compromised certified email infrastructure.

The agency identified over 650 instances of compromised or unauthorized certified email accounts. These accounts serve as a fundamental part of Italy’s digital administration, utilized to verify identities and handle official correspondence. The scale of the misuse indicated the system was exposed to coordinated offensive efforts.

The link to Revolut originates from the initial data breach that disclosed user information, which was then leveraged to target state email networks. The official inquiry seeks to establish the magnitude of the intrusion and the tactics employed by the attackers. No additional information regarding the timeline or range of the investigation was available at the time of reporting.
