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.^[1]
