Overview

• Clips of the stolen intimate video continue to circulate on private, paid Telegram channels, with a new group reportedly drawing about 3,000 subscribers within minutes.
• Private investigator Amedeo Pantanella reported to the Polizia Postale that a contact in Diamante copied the video from a nearby beachgoer’s phone believed to be the initial diffuser, who then fled.
• The portal at the center of the case is registered in Tonga, Italian videos on the site were made not visible after public outcry, and the platform still hosts hacked footage from other countries.
• Two criminal files are active with prosecutors in Rome and Venice while the Polizia Postale conducts forensic work, and lawyers have filed multiple takedown requests that officials say require time for verification.
• Reporting describes a broader illicit market involving more than 2,000 compromised surveillance systems, prices ranging from roughly $20 to $575, and premium tiers that allegedly offer camera control.
