I think all this information needs to be brought to Cysec's attention.
Pharo, I totally agree.
I did put the question to cysec via email, however no answer. I did find the following on the Cysec website, however I cannot say for sure if this reflects my mail:

onderwerp: Confirmation of legal representatation Cysec
Good Morning,
I received an email from Bank de Binary where I once had a trading account. The email is a warning of the following announcement from you:
" It has come to our attention that unknown entities or individuals present themselves as lawyers representing CySEC in their correspondence with clients of Banc De Binary Ltd (“The Company”).
These entities or individuals contact investors that are clients of The Company and promise to “assist” the said clients in receiving compensation for potential damages incurred during the cooperation with The Company, in exchange for a legal fee or other expenses.
CySEC has urged the public to remain vigilant regarding such unsolicited communication, and in case they receive any that appears to be from CySEC or CySEC representatives but was not initiated by the recipient of such communication, and appears to ask for the transfer or payment of any amount, to confirm the authenticity of the communication by contacting
info@cysec.gov.cy before taking any action.
We kindly ask you to use the Company’s website for reporting any issues as mentioned".
During March 2016, I was approached by a Dr. Henrik Johansen C.P.A. claiming to represent Cysec.
Can you confirm this person was (is) a legal representative of Cysec Securities?
yours, etc....
Furthermore, I did some digging on the internet and googled his picture, Oh my.... look what I found:
