Referendum Cittadinanza

Profile narrative

Referendum Cittadinanza, also known by its alias, is an organisation based in Italy that maintains the website referendumcittadinanza.it to disseminate information about an upcoming citizenship referendum. The site serves as a public resource where voters can access details regarding the referendum’s purpose, procedures, and implications. By providing this information, the organisation aims to support informed participation in the democratic process. Its headquarters are located in Italy, reflecting the national focus of the referendum it covers. The organisation’s primary activity revolves around curating and publishing factual content related to the referendum.

On 25 April 2025, the website referendumcittadinanza.it was subjected to a coordinated hacker campaign that generated millions of access attempts from masked IP addresses originating in locations such as China, Mexico, the Philippines, Bolivia, South Korea and Singapore. The resulting traffic overload rendered the platform unavailable, prompting the display of a maintenance notice while technicians worked to restore service. In response to the incident, the organisers filed a complaint with prosecutors, characterising the attack as a targeted and persistent disruption intended to hinder the informational resource for the referendum. This event highlights the vulnerability of civic information platforms to external interference. No further details about the organisation’s size, structure, or ownership are publicly available in the provided sources.
