On February 9, 2023, the cooperative experienced a cyberattack that rendered its website and Facebook page inaccessible for an extended period. Although the website was eventually restored, the organization's social media presence remained compromised following the incident. In response, Cooperativa Sociale Liberi Sogni issued a public notification acknowledging a malware-related breach. The notification included an apology for the service interruptions caused by the attack. Stakeholders were advised to use alternative email and telephone contacts for communication while the social media channels were being addressed. The incident highlighted the cooperative's dependence on digital platforms for outreach and the importance of cybersecurity resilience for social enterprises. No further details about the attack's origin or long-term impacts are provided in the available sources.
