The websites to which the watchdog ordered Internet connectivity service providers to inhibit access from Italy include:

• Miva Solutions LLC/"DeliTraders" (website: https://delitraders.com, and page: https://client.delitraders.com);

• Widdershins Group Ltd/"Asset Group" (websites: https://assetgroup.io and https://assetgroup.cc, and page: https://webtrader.assetgroup.xyz);

• "EuropeMarkets" and "EURTRADERS" (website: https://europemarkets.net);

• STRAT Ltd (website: www.finexo.io, and page: https://client.finexo.io);

• TechWare Limited (website https://evotrade.com)

The number of websites shut down since July 2019, when CONSOB got the power to order that the websites of fraudulent financial intermediaries be blacked out, has thus risen to 548.

The black-out of these websites by Internet service providers operating on Italian territory is ongoing. For technical reasons, it can take several days for the black-out to come into effect.
