Italy Blocks 10 Websites Operating Through the Same Pattern

Italys market regulator has ordered the blocking of 10 websites that appear to follow the same operating model, with only the domain names changing from one site to another. The latest action targets a group of platforms presented under different names, but built on what appears to be a repeated structure rather than separate, independent operations.

The websites named in the action are:

• erw326.it — Erw326
• ewds66.it — EwdS66
• hjk172.it — Hjk172
• sdd316.it — Sdd316
• yue157.it — Yue157
• yyt369.it — Yyt369
• asd967.it — Asd967
• etww78.it — Etww78
• zzx726.it — Zzx726
• rtut62.it — Rtut62

Different names, same structure

What stands out in this case is not variety, but repetition. The ten websites follow the same naming style and appear to use the same basic setup, suggesting a single model copied across multiple domains. Instead of building separate brands, the operators appear to have reproduced one template again and again, changing only the visible address and label.

This type of structure can make enforcement slower in practice. Once one site is identified or blocked, another nearly identical version can remain online under a different domain. That gives the operation more room to continue functioning, even when the overall pattern is already visible. This also fits the regulators broader warnings about cloned websites and repeated digital setups being used to support unlawful financial activity online.

The blocked-site count continues to rise

With this latest batch, the total number of websites blocked by the Italian regulator since 2019 has risen to 1,681. Italian internet providers are now implementing the blocking orders, although the regulator noted that technical timing can mean access does not disappear immediately in every case.

The same notice also referred to a wider change in online fraud techniques, including cloned websites, fake emails, counterfeit public identities, and AI-generated material such as altered images, voices, and videos designed to make unlawful offers appear more credible.
