In Italy, to check in to hotels, you must provide an identity card, which is usually copied at the reception. Many hotels use computer systems to automatically digitize data. Local police found that the attackers illegally entered the booking systems of various hotels in Italy since June 2025. This allowed them to access scans of passports, ID cards and other documents that guests provided when checking in.

In total, about 70 thousand digitized documents were stolen. According to the newspaper Corriere del Veneto, the four-star Ca'dei Conti hotel in Venice, from whose IT systems about 38 thousand documents were stolen, was most badly damaged. According to the State Agency for Digitalization of Italy (Agid), this information is put up for sale at a price of €800 to €10 thousand. Personal data can be used to organize various fraudulent schemes aimed at stealing money, in particular, personalized phishing attacks. Cybercriminals had at their disposal information not only about tourists, but also about persons making business trips: these can be entrepreneurs, civil servants of other countries, etc.^[1]
