On February 4, 2025, the Italian technical-administrative firm CO.GE.S.I. appeared on the LockBit 3 ransomware group’s public leak site, with attackers claiming to have exfiltrated internal files after a ransomware incident.

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.
A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates the company specializes in support for building amnesty applications and planning permissions under Italian Presidential Decree 380/2001. The listing on the LockBit 3 leak site includes a sample of allegedly stolen documents, though the exact number of people whose personal information is contained in the files remains unknown. Available reporting describes the data as internal files rather than a structured database of customer records. No ransom payment deadline or specific volume of stolen data has been publicly quantified by the group in the posted notice.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a company that handles building permits, amnesties, and planning documents is breached, the files often contain names, addresses, tax codes, property details, and correspondence tied to ordinary families who applied for legal approvals. Internal files exposed in such attacks can give criminals enough information to impersonate you with local government offices, open accounts in your name, or combine the details with other leaks to build a full profile. For families with pending building applications or past amnesties, the risk is concrete: the same documents that prove your compliance can later be used to harass or defraud you.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications
Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one company. A single exposed address, email, or phone number becomes a pivot point that links your gaming usernames, social-media handles, and family members’ accounts. Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers on Steam, Roblox, or other platforms where children use the same email address as a parent’s building-permit application. Once attackers map those connections, they can move from digital harassment to physical doxxing by publishing home addresses alongside family names. The speed at which these chains form is why early detection across both corporate breaches and consumer platforms is essential.
