Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Thegentlemen on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

aca.pescara.it zoominfo.com/c/aca-spa-in-house-providing/458761917 ACA Pescara public housing agency of the Province of Pescara (Abruzzo, Italy) — an ente pubblico economico created under Abruzzo's regional housing law (LR 39/1989, successor to the old IACP public-housing institutes), owned by the province and member municipalities. Its job: building, allocating and managing public/social housing (ERP) — social-rent apartments allocated by points system (family size, income, disability, eviction risk), below-market "canone moderato" housing, and residences for elderly and disabled residents. Typical ACA functions include rent collection, maintenance, public tenders/PPPs with developers, and post-earthquake reconstruction programs (a core Abruzzo role after L'Aquila 2009 and Amatrice 2016). It's a small regional body (~20–60 staff, minimal digital footprint, no public financials) — the kind of quiet public utility that runs the invisible housing layer of a mid-sized Italian province.
