Vodafone Italia is sending customers notices of a data breach, informing that one of its commercial partners, FourB S.p.A., who operates as a reseller of the telecommunications services in the country, has suffered a cyberattack.

According to the notice, the cyberattack took place in the first week of September and resulted in the compromise of sensitive subscriber details.

The exposed information includes subscription details, identity documents with sensitive data, and contact details.

The notice clarifies that no account passwords or network traffic data have been compromised as a result of this incident.

Vodafone Italia urges the recipients of the notifications to remain vigilant against incoming communications, as the risk of being targeted by phishing actors and scammers has now increased.

The notice concludes that FourB has closed access to the breached servers and implemented higher-level security on its systems to prevent the occurrence of similar incident in the future.
