From there, he says, he has sought to alert European leaders to the uncontrolled and largely unchecked commercial circulation of the personal data of millions of citizens.
According to the report, the leak is a consequence of the uncontrolled and effectively unchecked circulation of the personal data of millions of citizens.
This leak, along with others involving the mobile phone numbers of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, was uncovered by “Andrea Mavilla,” an Italian cybersecurity professional.
The mobile phone numbers of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides had also been leaked on the same platforms.
Mavilla told To Vima that he had repeatedly tried to alert the Greek government using data he had obtained in this way, but received no response. “They may have thought it was a hoax or feared it was an attempted spyware attack,” he said.
Michalis Bletsas, head of Greece’s National Cybersecurity Authority, confirmed that he had received a message from Mavilla. “Unfortunately, the truth is much simpler. All the information he found and presented in a somewhat ‘cinematic’ way is readily available online, without the need for any special tools or expertise. The reason is simple: our daily lives constantly leave digital traces. Some we leave ourselves, openly, on social media. Others are leaked when hackers breach company databases,” he said.
The risks are numerous, as access to public officials’ contact details can, for example, make it easier to send fraudulent emails or text messages.
