Autistici/Inventati Built Encrypted Digital Tools Used by Rose City Antifa, Hamas & Other Violent Groups

Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West. Today, the United States sanctioned several transnational far-left terrorist networks, including Autistici/Inventati – a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active…

… and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world. There will be no refuge for violent extremists who wage war on our civilization and plot to undermine law and order, destroy critical infrastructure, assault political opponents, or conspire to conceal their crimes from authorities. We will use all the tools and authorities at our disposal to fight terrorism and protect our way of life from terrorist coercion.

… The Autistici/Inventati Collective is an Italy-based hacker cell that provides far-left extremists with encrypted communications, calls, and web-hosting services – all concealed from law enforcement.

The A/I Collective is a central node in the far-left's war on our civilization.

One of America’s most violent communist groups relies on the A/I Collective.

Rose City Antifa used a site hosted by A/I to dox ICE agents, incite attacks against them “at their homes,” and organize terror attacks on Border Patrol helicopters, leading to a federal indictment. pic.twitter.com/aUWcBQ2jQX

… The A/I Collective hosts a site where foreign terrorists and anarchists document their acts of terror and urge others to stage attacks.

A domestic terrorist boasted of his crimes on the site and was found guilty of bombing a police car and plotting to attack a federal building.

Leftwing extremists calling themselves “Jane’s Revenge” carried out a violent campaign stretching from Colorado to New York, bombing pregnancy centers across the United States.

They took to a site hosted by the A/I Collective to urge extremists to commit their own attacks.

Far-left extremists, their fronts, and their enablers should be on notice: We will bring the full weight of our economic tools to bear.

Political terrorism has no place in our society, and we will continue to cut the financial lifelines of these groups until they are eliminated. https://t.co/9qRRLriBzS

… in pursuit of their objectives.

OFAC sanctioned Autistici Inventati, an Italy-based entity that supplies specialized digital architecture, tools, and services for Antifa cells and other violent far-left extremists, including a foreign terrorist organization; Palestine Action, a United Kingdom (UK)-based organization proscribed as a terrorist group by the UK government in July 2025; and the transnational group Masar Badil, which operates as a front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.
