UniCredit SpA became a victim of cyberattack. Data on about 3,000 UniCredit SpA employees was put up for sale on cyber-crime forums after attack. The information on UniCredit workers which were compromised included emails, phone numbers, encrypted passwords, and names.

UniCredit has revealed a data breach resulting in the leak of information belonging to three million customers. The names, phone numbers, emails, and cities where clients were registered were all disclosed in a total of about three million entries. People engaged in the breach have lost Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which may be used in social engineering tactics and possibly help with identity theft, but the likelihood of unauthorized transactions being brought on by the data leak is low. The organization has started an internal inquiry into how the incident occurred and has notified the necessary authorities, including law enforcement. A postal notice or an online banking notification will be sent to affected consumers.

The biggest bank in Italy, UniCredit, has acknowledged that two data breaches that collectively affected 400,000 clients occurred within the past year. The compromised information includes personal details and international bank account numbers (IBANs). The bank confirmed that no passwords were stolen in the attacks. They took preventive steps to secure its system.

The largest data breach ever recorded by a significant Italian institution occurred when suspected hackers gained access to client data at UniCredit CRDI.MI, the country's largest lender. This incident affected around 400,000 Italian customers. The bank immediately tooked all necessary measures to prevent a repeat of such incident.
