What the group claims

topsportitalia.it qualitysport.com Topsport Italia (founded 1972, Savigliano, Piedmont) and Quality Sport Italia S.r.l. (registered 2009, same address) are two sides of one B2B sports-equipment operator in Italy, run today by director Dario Valsania after being spun out of the larger Bongiovanni Sport group. Topsport designs and installs sports facilities "turnkey" — courts, suspended ceilings, partitions, bleachers and lighting — while Quality Sport sells and services fitness machines, gymnastics gear and accessories to sports schools, associations and public bodies via its qualitysport.com platform. Their model is full-service: consulting, equipment selection, installation, training and after-sales, backed by their own warehouse in Savigliano. The two brands share one multilingual e-commerce platform (6 languages) and a combined catalog. They are a solid mid-sized niche player with 50+ years of heritage

Disclosure context

About thegentlemen

thegentlemen is a ransomware group that emerged in September 2025, operating with apparent financial motivations based on their broad targeting of commercial sectors. The group has documented 267 victims across multiple countries, with primary focus on the United States, Thailand, France, Brazil, and India. Their targeting strategy demonstrates a preference for high-value sectors including manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and financial services organizations. Given the group's recent emergence and limited public documentation from established threat intelligence sources such as CISA, FBI, or major security research firms, specific details regarding their country of origin, operational structure, attack methodologies, encryption techniques, and whether they employ ransomware-as-a-service models remain unclear. The relatively high victim count of 267 in a short operational timeframe since September 2025 suggests either an aggressive campaign pace or potential inflation of victim numbers through affiliate operations, though without corroborating intelligence reports, the group's exact operational capabilities and notable campaigns cannot be definitively established. Current intelligence indicates the group remains active as of late 2025, though comprehensive threat profiling requires additional validated reporting from authoritative cybersecurity sources. The group has been linked to 914 public disclosures across our corpus. First observed on a leak site on September 9, 2025; most recent post September 30, 2026. The operation is currently active.

If your organisation is affected

A listing by thegentlemen means QUALITY SPORT Topsport Italia appeared on a ransomware extortion site and data attributed to it has been published. If this is your organisation, or a supplier you depend on, the priority is to confirm the intrusion and contain it before the window to act closes.

Engage your incident-response team and preserve forensic evidence before remediating — do not wipe affected systems first.
Force a password reset and revoke active sessions for exposed accounts; rotate any credentials, API keys or certificates that may have been in the stolen data.
Assess regulatory notification duties (GDPR, NIS2, sector regulators) — many carry a 72-hour reporting clock from awareness.
Report the incident to your national CERT, CSIRT Italia (Italy), as required for your jurisdiction.
Monitor for the data appearing on thegentlemen's leak site and across paste and breach channels, and brief downstream partners who may be exposed through you.
