Consob Monday! Italian regulator orders new blackouts!

CONSOB Ben - January 24, 2022

The Italian Consob issued orders to blackout the websites of five providers of illegal financial services bringing the total number of websites blacked out since July 2019 to 610. While in other regimes regulators can only issue warnings against illegal providers, Consob can order Internet providers to block their websites. It would be desirable if other regulators were authorized by their legislators to issue such blackouts. This would be an important step in the fight against cybercrime and scams.
