bigotti.ro Listed by safepay Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
bigotti.ro was listed by the safepay ransomware group on January 14, 2025, after internal files were exfiltrated in a ransomware attack. The number of people affected is undisclosed; anyone who has used the site should verify whether their information was exposed and take protective steps.
On 14 January 2025 the Romania-based fashion retailer bigotti.ro appeared on the leak site of the safepay ransomware group. The listing asserts that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The number of people affected is unknown, and public detail beyond the group’s claim remains limited.
Because the incident involves a consumer-facing clothing brand, any confirmed exposure of customer or operational records could affect individuals who have shopped with or worked for the company. At present the claim itself is the primary public record.
What happened
According to the safepay listing dated 14 January 2025, bigotti.ro suffered a ransomware attack in which internal files were taken. No further technical details—such as the initial access vector, the exact date of intrusion, the volume of data removed, or whether systems were encrypted—have been disclosed in public reporting. The number of individuals whose information may be involved is listed as unknown. The group’s post constitutes an unverified claim; independent confirmation of the breach’s scope or success has not been published.
Who is safepay?
Safepay is a ransomware operation that follows the now-common double-extortion model: after gaining access to a network, operators encrypt systems and simultaneously copy data, then threaten to publish the stolen material if a ransom is not paid. The group maintains a dedicated leak site where it names victims and, in some cases, releases sample files or full archives. Public tracking of safepay activity shows it has targeted organisations across multiple sectors and countries, typically advertising the theft of internal documents, databases and correspondence. Claims posted on such sites are statements by the attackers themselves and should be treated as such until corroborated by the victim organisation or independent investigators.
About bigotti.ro
Bigotti.ro is a Romanian fashion company specialising in men’s clothing and accessories. The brand emphasises Italian-inspired design and offers suits, shirts, shoes, ties and related apparel intended for both formal and casual wear. Like most retail clothing businesses of its type, it maintains customer accounts, order histories, payment-related records, employee information and internal operational files. A breach at such an organisation is consequential because it can place both consumer personal data and proprietary business information at risk of further misuse.
What was likely exposed
The only data category named in the available record is “internal files exfiltrated in a ransomware attack.” Exact contents have not been confirmed. Organisations in the fashion-retail sector typically hold customer contact details, purchase histories, loyalty or account credentials, employee records, supplier contracts and financial documents. Whether any of these categories were among the files claimed by safepay remains unconfirmed. Public detail is limited to the group’s assertion that internal material was taken.
What's at stake
For individuals whose information may have been present, the principal risks are identity fraud, targeted phishing and unsolicited contact that exploits knowledge of past purchases or personal details. For the company itself, exposure of internal files can lead to competitive harm, regulatory scrutiny under data-protection rules, and erosion of customer trust. Because the scale of the incident and the precise data types remain unknown, the full extent of these risks cannot yet be quantified. Affected parties should treat the possibility of compromise seriously while awaiting further verified information.
If your data was in this claimed breach
If you have an account with bigotti.ro, have made purchases, or have been employed by the company, consider the following practical steps:
- Change any password used on the bigotti.ro site and ensure it is unique to that service.
- Monitor bank and card statements for unfamiliar transactions.
- Watch for phishing messages that reference recent orders or personal details.
- Enable multi-factor authentication on email and financial accounts where available.
- Request a free exposure scan of your email address to check whether it has already appeared in known breach data sets.
These measures reduce immediate risk even while official confirmation of the full data set remains pending. Continue to follow updates from the company or relevant authorities for any additional guidance.

Breach listings — particularly those originating from ransomware or leak sites — are third-party claims that may be unverified, incomplete, or inaccurate. A listing does not by itself confirm that a breach occurred or that any specific data was exposed. Severity is an automated assessment, not a definitive rating. Verification status is shown where available.
