Westpole LockBit ransomware — Italian PA outage (2023)
LockBit 3.0 encrypted the data centres of Italian cloud provider Westpole, taking down PA Digitale's Urbi platform — which serves 1,300 Italian public administrations including 540 municipalities, the Quirinale presidency, ISTAT, the Bank of Italy, and the Ministry of Environment. Payroll, citizen services, and local-government workflows were degraded for weeks.
