AGCOM (Italian Communications Authority) issued two key measures against CLI spoofing: a fine imposed on Agile Telecom for transmitting fraudulent SMS and the closure of a case against Telecom Italia Sparkle after it implemented filters and terminated irregular contracts. The actions mark the activation of a multi-layered system to combat spoofing and abusive calls. No specific dates, technical details, or financial penalties were disclosed in the report. The focus is on regulatory enforcement against telecom operators facilitating fraudulent activities. The measures aim to strengthen protections against phishing, smishing, and vishing threats in Italy.
