The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) issued an important warning on 23 October 2026 after detecting a fake website impersonating the regulator. The alert concerns a website that presents itself as connected to CySEC but is not identified as an official CySEC site.
The warning highlights a potential fake regulator scam in which an imitation website could be used to mislead visitors about its identity or authority. Anyone encountering a website claiming to represent CySEC should treat the warning seriously and verify that they are using an official CySEC source before relying on its information or responding to requests made through the site.
