irpea.it Listed by INC Ransom Ransomware Group

On February 27, 2026, the Italian nonprofit Fondazione IRPEA appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group Incransom. The organization, which supports volunteer projects in Padua and was named European Capital of Volunteering in 2020, is claimed to have had internal files exfiltrated after a ransomware attack. While the exact number of people whose information may have been exposed remains unknown, the breach affects an organization with roughly 200 employees and a network of volunteers whose personal details may now be circulating.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates that Incransom posted a disclosure for irpea.it on its leak site on February 27, 2026. The data consists of internal files exfiltrated during a ransomware incident. Available details list the nonprofit’s phone number, employee count, and annual revenue of $24.2 million. No sample files or full data dump have been independently verified in open sources, but the listing itself confirms the group claims successful exfiltration. Industry research from sources such as DoxxScan™ continuous monitoring has not yet catalogued this specific incident, which is typical for fresh ransomware leaks.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a charity like Fondazione IRPEA is breached, the people affected are rarely just employees. Volunteers, donors, program participants, and their families often appear in internal spreadsheets, grant applications, or mailing lists. If your name, email, phone number, address, or financial information was stored in those systems, it can surface in unexpected places. Internal files frequently contain scanned IDs, bank coordinates for reimbursements, or family contact details for emergency purposes. Once that information leaves the organization’s control, it travels quickly through underground markets and can be used for identity theft, phishing, or harassment years later.

The breach also highlights how even mission-driven organizations handling everyday community data can become targets. If you or your family volunteered, donated, or participated in IRPEA programs, your information could be part of the exposed material.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications

Ransomware leaks rarely stop at one dataset. A single email or phone number from an internal file can be combined with information from other breaches to build a complete profile. Attackers link your work email to personal accounts, gaming usernames, children’s school records, and home address. This identity chain turns a simple data leak into long-term exposure. Credential leaks like this one often cascade into account takeovers on unrelated services where the same password was reused. Gaming accounts belonging to you or your children are especially vulnerable because they frequently share the same email address or recovery phone number listed in nonprofit records.

Incransom’s Publicly Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the attack to the Incransom ransomware group. The group emerged in recent years and has focused primarily on smaller organizations and nonprofits. Their typical playbook involves gaining initial access through common vulnerabilities or phishing, exfiltrating sensitive files, encrypting systems, then publishing samples on their leak site when victims do not pay. Past incidents have targeted entities in Europe and Latin America, with extortion pressure applied through both data exposure and direct contact. Exact success rates and prior victim counts are difficult to confirm, but their leak site remains active and continues to publish new organizations on a regular basis.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real-world identity, then use the cleanup to remove what you can.
• Rotate any password you used at irpea.it or related Fondazione IRPEA services anywhere else it appears, and switch on 2FA through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next time your information appears it is caught within hours instead of months.
• Cover the entire household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same contact details.
• Let remediation specialists handle repeated takedown requests across data brokers and leak sites so you do not have to chase them yourself.

The incident shows that data held by even well-intentioned community organizations can reach criminals within hours of a breach. Taking concrete steps now limits how far that information can travel. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers continuous monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping that connects online handles to real identities, and hands-on remediation by specialists who manage takedowns for you. Its household coverage also protects children’s gaming accounts that frequently become the next link in a doxxing chain after credential leaks like this one.
