Peacemaker Threat Landscape Q3 2026: Italy

54,430,739 threats blocked in Q3 2026

That is about 605,000 blocked requests on Italian ISP networks every day, and 2% of the 3.1 billion threats Whalebone stopped across six European markets in the quarter. Every one of them was a device inside an ISP's network reaching for a malicious domain.

What you will find in the report:

What Italian networks blocked: malware 62%, blacklist 21%, phishing 12%, and other 5%
Three global threat domains Whalebone blocked in every market it monitors
Local threat of the quarter: a fake Mattia Capezzani store built to trap Italian shoppers

Why it matters for ISPs

Malware works in the background: infected devices contact their servers automatically and repeatedly.
Every one of those contacts is a DNS request, which is why malware outnumbers the phishing people actually notice.
Whalebone Peacemaker blocks the DNS request before the page loads, so the customer never reaches the site.

Local threat of the quarter

A fake Mattia Capezzani store targeting Italian shoppers. This domain operates as a fraudulent e-commerce site that impersonates the Italian luxury footwear brand Mattia Capezzani, collecting card details from shoppers who believe they are buying from the real store.

Domain, defanged for safety: mattiacapezzani[.]shop
