During a conference at Kilometro Rosso in Bergamo, documented in a video published on YouTube by Phoenix Informatica, Francesco Ongaro — partner and researcher at ISGroup — was cited as a speaker together with Pasquale Fiorillo in a presentation titled Hacking of Things. The presentation, dating back to 2025, illustrated the vulnerabilities of connected objects (IoT), showing how an attacker can compromise their security at both hardware and cloud levels. Ongaro presented himself as a representative of the Italian hacker underground of the ’90s and co-founder of ISGroup, emphasizing the mission of the independent laboratory: to provide ethical hacking services, penetration testing, and advanced research in partnership with entities like Phoenix Informatica.
