10 Jul 2025 Poste Vita S.p.A.Poste Vita: 80,000 EUR – data breach notified only four months after customer’s alert ItalyIncident reporting obligations €80,000

A fraudster impersonated a customer by e-mail and, between 2021 and 2023, obtained information and documents on three policies from the life insurer’s case handlers without his identity being verified. Although the customer alerted the company to the false e-mail address in September 2024, Poste Vita only notified the breach to the supervisory authority in January 2025.

What organisations can take from it

Customer alerts about possible data leaks must go into the incident assessment immediately – not only after internal checks are completed.

Relevance to training and awareness

Identity verification for customer requests by e-mail (social engineering)
