Comprehensive measures against digital crime
The Russian government has announced a comprehensive package of measures to strengthen the fight against cybercrime, which could fundamentally change the country's digital security environment in 2025-2026. The initiative is particularly timely, as the number of cybercrimes has seen a dramatic increase: a 30% increase was registered in 2023 alone, which continued to grow in 2024.
Key changes in the digital space
The new regulation rests on several pillars, each of which aims to increase security:
Protection of state communication: A complete ban on the use of foreign messaging platforms in the state sphere, which can significantly reduce the risk of leaks and abuses.
Stricter user identification: The introduction of mandatory identification for the use of online marketplaces and services, with particular attention to larger platforms.
Protection against telephone fraud: Introduction of innovative solutions to identify the origin of calls and filter spam calls.
