The creation of this platform is provided for by the law on combating cyber fraud, which was adopted by the State Duma on March 25, 2025. According to Ministry of Digital Development, the goal of the project being implemented is to create an effective mechanism for operational interaction and information exchange of its participants to counter cybercrimes. Among the key tasks are:
- Preparation of proposals for the system architecture, including its components;
- Identify the categories of data required to effectively combat ICT offenses;
- Automation of participant interaction;
- Development and implementation of preventive measures aimed at combating cybercrime;
- Definition of scenarios for countering cybercrime;

Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, Rosfinmonitoring, Bank of Russia, Prosecutor General's Office, TFR and FSTEC agreed on the platform concept
The federal budget provides ₽6,1 billion for the development of a state anti-fraud system. The concept of the platform, which will unite the efforts of business and law enforcement agencies in the fight against telephone fraudsters, was considered by the Government Commission on Digital Development on March 14, 2025.
According to Forbes, the concept has already received approval from key law enforcement and financial departments: the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, Rosfinmonitoring, the Bank of Russia, the General Prosecutor's Office, the Investigative Committee and the FSTEC.
The main task of the platform is to collect data on cases of telephone fraud to form forecasts of the development of the situation in similar crimes. The information collected will also be used to collect evidence, which will significantly reduce the time for investigating such crimes.
As part of the system, operators, banks marketplaces, state bodies and companies from the sphere cyber security will be able to exchange information about suspicious numbers, subscribers who have been attacked by fraudsters, as well as accounts from which attackers made transfers of more than ₽10 thousand.
The anti-fraud system will automatically form a dossier on fraudsters and transfer it to law enforcement agencies and courts upon request. In addition, it is planned to create a register of victims, which will be formed on the basis of the appeals of the victims themselves, as well as data on the actions of fraudsters.
The concept provides for the development of a mobile application with which users can report suspicious transactions, block them, receive warnings about fraudulent calls and leaks of their personal data.
The concept annotation notes that for the platform to work effectively, it is necessary to connect all participants in each of the industries involved. Otherwise, fraudsters will be pushed out to less technically equipped market participants who do not have sufficient resources to create their own similar systems.
According to the section of the concept "Basic Criteria for the Effectiveness of Platform Implementation," by 2030 the number of prevented fraud attempts is planned to increase to 90.5 million - by almost 50% by the result of 2024, which, according to the Ministry of Ministry of Digital Development, amounted to 60.4 million.[2]
2024: Work to build the platform
The Ministry of Digital Development of Russia announced the creation of a single national anti-fraud platform. This was announced on November 6, 2024 by the Deputy Minister of Digital Development Alexander Shoitov. The creation of the platform is aimed at countering Internet scammers and will be an important part of strengthening the country's cybersecurity.
According to Interfax, the design of the platform is carried out in cooperation with federal executive bodies, the Central Bank, banks and telecom operators. By November 2024, a general concept design is underway, and a pilot launch of the system is planned in 2025. Commissioning and final regulatory regulation are scheduled for 2026.
Alexander Shoitov stressed that countering fraudulent schemes requires the creation of a centralized system that can cope with the consolidation of criminals and the complexity of methods used in cyberspace. According to him, structures of unfriendly states are often involved in fraud schemes. In this regard, the only countermeasure is the creation of a centralized system that will allow you to quickly identify and prevent fraudulent actions.
According to Shoitov, the approach to ensuring information security within the framework of the anti-fraud platform is to protect citizens from targeted attacks aimed at obtaining confidential data and funds. The mechanisms included in the platform will be aimed at closing all channels of potential impact: from phone calls, including in instant messengers, to phishing sites and other types of attacks. He added that it was necessary to ensure that all possible channels of fraud were completely closed in order to exclude the possibility of their use by criminals.[3]
