With the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, risks are increasing again and so, together with Consob, IVASS and Italy’s Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF), we promptly warned the banks that they needed to raise their guard against potential attacks.
Against this backdrop, we have also urged banks and the main technology service providers to conduct a risk assessment linked to the use of software from Russia. So far, there has been no evidence of any successful cyber attacks on the financial market that can be directly related to the conflict.
