Executive summary On 20 September 2026 the ransomware group "emperador" listed the Italian notary firm Studio Notarile Associato Salvatore Costantino E Anna Favarato of Follina (Treviso province) as a victim on its leak site, claiming access to several thousand documents including customer documents and employee data. The actor "emperador" has no MITRE ATT&CK profile in our verified reference data, so the attribution rests solely on the group's own leak-site post and must be treated as unconfirmed. The listing is a claim of data theft and extortion; the source material contains no technical detail on initial access, malware, encryption, or exfiltration, and no independent confirmation that the claimed data is genuine. For EMEA financial services the direct relevance is limited: the victim is a small notary practice in the "Finance, Other" sector, but notaries handle real-estate transactions, wills and corporate deeds, so any leaked material could contain client identity documents and transaction records relevant to fraud and money-laundering exposure at institutions that used this firm. ## 2\. Regulatory framing No specific DORA/NIS2 article is directly engaged by this item. The victim is an Italian notary firm, not a financial entity or an ICT service provider in scope, and the source contains no incident detail specific to a client's own environment. Clients should treat this as third-party exposure to monitor rather than a reportable event in their own estate. ## 3\. Technical analysis & attack chain The only confirmed fact is the leak-site listing itself: group "emperador", victim Studio Notarile Associato Salvatore Costantino E Anna Favarato, country Italy, victim website costantinofavarato.it, published 20 September 2026\. The listing claims "several thousand documents" comprising customer documents and employee data. The victim is a notary's office at Piazza Iv Novembre 20, 31051 Follina, Italia, telephone +39 0438 971778. No attack chain can be reconstructed from the source. There is no information on initial access vector, exploited vulnerability, malware family, encryption behaviour, persistence, command-and-control, lateral movement, or exfiltration method. The ransomware.live entry does not state whether the incident involved encryption of the victim's systems or data theft only, and it does not include a sample of the stolen data. Ransomware.live explicitly does not access or host the underlying stolen content, so the claim that the data exists and is genuine is single-sourced to the operator's post and cannot be corroborated from this material. Attribution caveat: "emperador" has no MITRE ATT&CK profile in our verified reference data. We have no corroborating reporting on this group's tooling, targets or history from the provided sources. Treat the group name and the victim claim as unconfirmed until independent reporting emerges. ## 4\. Mitigation & containment P1 (within 24h): - Check whether your institution has any current or historical relationship with Studio Notarile Associato Salvatore Costantino E Anna Favarato (vendor records, notarial engagements, property transactions, corporate deeds) and identify what client or transaction data could have been shared with the firm. - Add the victim domain costantinofavarato.it to watchlists for monitoring of any future data dumps or paste-site mentions; do not block the domain, it is the victim's, not the attacker's. P2 (within 72h): - If a relationship exists, open a third-party incident enquiry with the firm asking for confirmation of the incident, the data categories affected and their notification timeline. - Review whether any leaked material, if it surfaces, would trigger your own customer-notification or GDPR obligations through data you transmitted to the notary; the source gives no basis for assuming specific data types beyond "customer documents and employee data". P3 (within 7 days): - No patching or technical containment applies from this item; there is no CVE, malware sample or IOC in the source. Use the case as a prompt to confirm that notaries, law firms and similar professional-service providers that handle your client documents are covered in your third-party data-handling terms and your vendor incident-notification clauses. ## 5\. Indicators of compromise No indicators of compromise available in the source material. The listing names the victim and the actor but provides no hashes, domains, IPs, file paths or other atomic indicators. The victim domain costantinofavarato.it is the victim's own legitimate domain, not an attacker indicator. ## 6\. Detection Insufficient indicators to author detection rules. ## 7\. Sources - Ransomware.live, "Victim: Studio Notarile Associato Salvatore Costantino E Anna Favarato – emperador", https://www.ransomware.live/id/U3R1ZGlvIE5vdGFyaWxlIEFzc29jaWF0byBTYWx2YXRvcmUgQ29zdGFudGlubyBFIEFubmEgRmF2YXJhdG9AZW1wZXJhZG9y, published 2026-09-20 ## 8\. Adverse Trace position We assess this as a low-severity, single-sourced leak-site listing with no technical detail and unconfirmed attribution: the actor "emperador" has no MITRE profile in our verified data and the data-theft claim cannot be corroborated from the source. Client impact is indirect and contingent on whether an institution used this notary firm; the exposure to watch for is identity documents and transaction records appearing in a future dump, which would matter for fraud and AML teams more than for security operations. We will monitor for a second source on this incident, any release of the claimed documents, and any reporting that establishes emperador's tooling or prior victims, and we will reissue if corroboration changes the picture. --- [Read the original source →](https://www.ransomware.live/id/U3R1ZGlvIE5vdGFyaWxlIEFzc29jaWF0byBTYWx2YXRvcmUgQ29zdGFudGlubyBFIEFubmEgRmF2YXJhdG9AZW1wZXJhZG9y?ref=f4n6.co.uk) *Published via PulseTrace — Adverse Trace threat intelligence.*
