Russia launches system to block fraudulent websites pending trial

The Russian Ministry of Digital Development announced the possibility of pre-trial blocking of phishing and other fraudulent sites

through the Anti-Phishing system. Discuss

It is noted that all fake sites thatdisguised as government agencies, social networks, online stores will be blocked until a court decision. But the problem is that a case can take a long time to go to court, more than a month, and if the Prosecutor General's Office is involved, decisions will be made faster.

Cooperation between the Ministry of Digital Development and the Prosecutor General's Office will make it possible to more effectively block phishing sites, and the Central Bank is already working on a similar scheme.

“According to the current version of the federal project“Information Security”, which is overseen by the Ministry of Digital Development, by 2024, the response time to block phishing sites that imitate the work of government agencies should be no more than 8 hours,” the source said.
