Home | Updates | Data breach at Intesa Sanpaolo under investigation
A data breach at Intesa Sanpaolo has sparked investigations into the bank and its employee, following reports by ANSA.
Intesa Sanpaolo has confirmed it alerted Italy’s data protection authority regarding a data breach caused by one of its employees after carrying out detailed investigations into the incident. The bank explained that the notification was made only after conducting careful checks on the events surrounding the violation.
Despite media reports, Intesa has not yet received any formal communication from prosecutors. News agency ANSA previously reported that both the bank and its employee are being investigated following the data breach.
The breach, which is said to have affected thousands of customers, includes the personal data of high-profile individuals such as Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The investigation has raised concerns about data security at one of Italy‘s largest financial institutions.
As the situation develops, the bank faces increasing scrutiny over its handling of the breach, with both authorities and the public awaiting further details on the investigation.
