Warning: fraudulent website misusing the name and logo of Banca d'Italia

Banca d'Italia reports that a fraudulent website, recently taken down, was unlawfully using the Bank's name and logo.

The website, which appeared to be about 'Anti-Money Laundering Supervision and Regulation' and 'AML Oversight', prompted users to select their bank under the false pretext of updating their anti-money laundering compliance information. Once a bank was selected, a fake login page replicating the bank's authentication interface would open, prompting users to enter their banking credentials, which were then made available to the fraudsters.

After requesting the website's removal, Banca d'Italia promptly informed the competent authorities and reserves the right to take any further action to protect users and its reputation.

Users are advised not to enter credentials or personal data on suspicious websites and to always refer to the official website of Banca d'Italia: https://www.bancaditalia.it

For any doubts or clarifications, you may submit an information request to Banca d'Italia via the Servizi Online page.
