Unfortunately, we received a response to only 913 messages. In total, 1,332 notifications about computer attacks, the sources of which are information resources located on the territory of the Russian Federation, were received from foreign partners. Reasoned responses were sent to all messages from foreign partners," said Nikolai Murashov.

"The initial shock after the start of content writing service massive cyber attacks on Russian IT systems has passed. It seems that the owners of information resources have relaxed somewhat, thinking that this is how it will continue. No, this will not continue, we need to prepare for increased cyber attacks," the deputy head of the NKTCKI emphasized.



According to Vadim Uvarov, Director of the Information Security Department of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, in the first quarter of this year, domestic banks repelled 2.7 million cyber fraud attacks. Most of them were repelled thanks to the banks' anti-fraud systems and established business processes, he said during the Infoforum-Sochi 2023 on July 5.

This made it possible to prevent the loss of more than 700 billion rubles from the accounts of bank clients.

In the first three months of this year, criminals stole 4.5 billion rubles from citizens' bank accounts, which is 30% more than in the same period of 2022. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation initiated the blocking of 97 thousand fraudulent phone numbers in the first quarter of this year. Data on 7 thousand illegal resources on the Internet were sent to the Prosecutor General's Office.

Vadim Uvarov, Bank of Russia:

– At present, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation is actively involved in preparing for the second reading of the draft law on amendments to the law "On the National Payment System". The amendments concern the conditions for the return of funds to bank clients in the event of theft and the suspension of money transfers under clearly fraudulent schemes.

Roman Loginov, head of the Kaspersky Lab solutions architects group, spoke about the change in hacker tactics in his speech at the forum. According to the data he presented, 39% of data leaks were published after a successful cyberattack.

“While previously fraudsters tried to negotiate with the affected company and receive a ransom, now they increasingly put it in a bad light publicly a few days or weeks after the attack,” Vadim Uvarov noted.

He clarified that

In 2023, hackers will increasingly announce breaches in public posts, setting a countdown to the release of data

At the same time, the efforts of attackers in 2022 were primarily aimed at the IT systems of government agencies (19.4%), financial institutions (18.4%) and industry (17.3%).

In total, 168 data leaks were recorded in 2022, a Kaspersky Lab representative stated.

The legal framework that has been created at present has made it possible to increase the efficiency of protecting government bodies and information infrastructure facilities, noted Denis Nikitin, Deputy Head of the Department of the FSTEC of Russia for the Southern and North Caucasian Federal Districts, in his speech at Infoforum-Sochi 2023. However, he stressed,

the nature of cyber threats is currently changing dynamically

In his speech, Denis Nikitin highlighted the changes that were made to the RF Government Resolution of February 8, 2018 No. 127 “On approval of the Rules for categorizing critical information infrastructure facilities of the Russian Federation.”
