The US State Department has designated the Italian tech collective Autistici/Inventati as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, freezing its assets and barring all transactions involving the group within the United States. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the move on August 26, saying the organization had provided digital infrastructure support to far-left violent extremism. Founded in 2001, Autistici/Inventati offers encrypted communication tools, email services, and web hosting, and manages about 16,000 mailboxes and 1,500 websites. The sanctions notice specifically highlighted a shift in counterterrorism tactics by targeting an infrastructure provider rather than individual users. The announcement did not mention any cryptocurrency assets or digital financial tools linked to the group. The item was cited by Techub News from CryptoBriefing.
