Why it matters

According to DailyDarkWeb, if authentic, fiscal codes combined with dates of birth and addresses are highly valuable for identity fraud, and the credentials could enable account takeover on sports-booking and club platforms. The situation also favors phishing scams using the FITP name.

What to do

Monitor FITP official channels for confirmation or guidance. Tell members to change reused passwords and to treat messages about the entity with caution. Strengthen filters and alerts against FITP-themed phishing.
