In November 2018, the central server of the Central Information and Technical Customs Administration of the FCS of Russia (responsible for the technical work of the electronic declaration system) was subjected to a hacker attack, as informed sources told the Fontanka publication. According to them, as a result of the cyber attack, there was a total cessation of electronic registration of goods throughout Russia. The problem occurred on the servers of the Electronic Information View automated tool.

At that time, the information exchange between the participants of the foreign economic activity and the electronic archives of declarants in the customs authorities of all customs departments of the country, without exception, was completely suspended.

In March 2022, the FCS reported that due to the increasing incidence of cyber attacks on information resources, the service temporarily limited access to the official website of the department and the personal account of a participant in foreign economic activity from IP addresses located outside the customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Massive cyber attacks on Russian state bodies and companies began after the start of a special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.^[1]
