According to the regulator, the following platforms have been targeted in the latest enforcement action:

• “IG Group 24” – operating through the websites iggroup24.life and the related page my.24igg.to

• “Mont Blanc Investment Ltd” – operating through montblancltd.com and the related client portal client.montblancltd.com
