The second package of measures against cyber fraudsters includes about 20 initiatives to protect citizens in the digital environment. The current version of the document has been published for public discussion. Work on preparing measures to combat cyber fraudsters is being carried out under the supervision of Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

"The government continues its systematic work in the fight against cyber fraudsters. The first package launched this comprehensive approach. We introduced self-prohibitions on online loans and registration of SIM cards for citizens, established a ban on the use of foreign messengers by government agencies, provided for the ability to refuse SMS mailings and mass calls. Citizens have new tools for protection. But this was only the first step. The time has come to introduce liability for cyber fraudsters, as well as additional requirements for mobile operators and banks. At the same time, we are not stopping with the second package. Technologies do not stand still, attackers are inventing new schemes. Regular updating of tools for protecting our citizens in the digital environment is becoming an integral part of an effective fight," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The second package included measures of various categories – from self-prohibitions for citizens to new requirements for mobile operators. It also provides for criminal and administrative liability for offenders.

Among the new measures is the ability for citizens to set a self-prohibition on calls from abroad: fraudsters often use foreign numbers to deceive citizens. Moreover, mandatory marking of international calls is being established. Thus, even citizens who do not set a self-prohibition will be warned that the call is coming from another country.

Punishment is envisaged for the use of artificial intelligence by fraudsters to commit thefts or extort money and property from citizens. The minimum penalty that fraudsters may face for using AI to commit theft is a fine of 100,000 to 500,000 rubles, the maximum penalty is imprisonment for up to six years. In addition, administrative liability is introduced for actions in the sphere of illegal organization of digital currency circulation, for example, for illegal mining.

The second package establishes the obligation of telecom operators to transfer information about numbers from and to which fraudulent calls are made to the GIS "Antifraud" registry, as well as to suspend traffic to numbers included in the registry (except for calls to emergency services). The GIS "Antifraud" is a platform for the prompt interaction of government agencies, banks, telecom operators and other organizations to combat cyber fraud and allows for the exchange of information about fraud attempts in real time. A pilot has now been launched to test the solutions.

In addition, the right of telecom operators to use anti-fraud measures, including using artificial intelligence, to identify suspicious calls is being introduced. Information contained in the GIS "Anti-fraud" can be used for these purposes.

A mechanism for extrajudicial operational blocking of phishing sites (so-called mirror sites) aimed at deceiving users and stealing their data is being introduced.

Measures to combat droppers – intermediaries of fraudsters who transfer their cards or e-wallets to them – are being expanded. A limit on the number of bank cards is being introduced – no more than 10 issued cards per person. This measure will also make it easier for banks to monitor transactions and identify suspicious operations.

In total, under the program in Khabarovsk Krai, the state company financed the construction of 2,388 apartments within the framework of 11 projects.

"The Affordable Rental Housing in the Far East program, initiated by President Vladimir Putin, is a powerful tool for solving the personnel issue in the Far East. Thanks to the effective work of DOM.RF and the support of the federal center, we are creating a solid foundation for the development and retention of specialists and young families in the region. These are not just square meters, these are investments in the future of the region, in attracting and retaining talented people who want to live and work here for the benefit of our country," said Dmitry Demeshin, Governor of Khabarovsk Krai, during a visit to the apartments.
