On December 27, 2025, Italian professional services firm Studio Elad, legally registered as Elad S.r.l., appeared on the leak site of the safepay ransomware group. The attackers claim to have exfiltrated internal files during a ransomware incident. While the exact number of people whose information was taken remains unknown, anyone whose personal or financial records passed through the company could be affected.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates that safepay posted details of the Studio Elad breach on its dark-web leak site. The Italian company provides professional services and business support. Available information describes the incident as a ransomware attack in which internal files were allegedly stolen before any encryption occurred. No confirmed total of exposed records has been published, and the precise data types have not been independently verified beyond the group’s claim of internal files exfiltrated.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
When a company that handles contracts, invoices, tax documents or client records is breached, the information can quickly reach identity thieves, fraudsters or stalkers. If your name, address, date of birth, tax ID, bank details or correspondence with Studio Elad were among the stolen files, criminals can use them to open accounts, file fraudulent taxes or impersonate you. Children’s records included in family paperwork are especially attractive because they often stay clean for years and can be sold or exploited later. One breach like this can quietly feed multiple fraud attempts against your household for months before you notice.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risk
Stolen internal files frequently contain email addresses, phone numbers, client handles and references to other accounts. Criminals chain these pieces together: an email from one document links to a reused password on another site, which reveals a gaming username, which leads to your home address. This identity-chain process turns a single company breach into long-term doxxing and account takeover risks. Credential leaks of this kind regularly cascade into gaming account takeovers, especially for children’s profiles that share family contact details.
