Roskomnadzor has issued a warning to the public about fraudulent emails that appear to come from addresses using the format [email protected] but are sent on behalf of the ministry. The warning was shared through the ministry’s Telegram channel, stating that the post originated from official channels of the department. The notice makes clear that these messages are not legitimate and that the ministry communicates only through verified email addresses that follow the standard format [email protected] It is essential for residents and businesses to recognize that any other sender claiming to be part of Roskomnadzor lacks official status and should not be trusted.
In addition to addressing fraudulent email schemes, Roskomnadzor has clarified a separate matter involving a supposed entity called the Information and Legal Security Committee. The ministry explicitly denies the existence of such a committee and reiterates that all official correspondence from Roskomnadzor originates from the confirmed .ru mailbox system. This clarification is part of a broader effort to prevent confusion and protect the public from misinformation that could undermine trust in government communications.
Roskomnadzor also recalled actions taken earlier against several online platforms. The agency announced a prohibition on search engines displaying information about certain websites following a compliance assessment. Among the affected services are names of well known hosting and domain providers. The list included Hetzner Online, Network Solutions, WPEngine, HostGator, Ionos, DreamHost, Amazon Web Services, GoDaddy, Bluehost, Kamatera, and DigitalOcean. The decision was explained as a measure to curb access to specific content that some foreign providers failed to address in line with applicable laws governing online information and user landing experiences.
The central aim behind this step, according to Roskomnadzor, is to ensure that search results do not direct users to sites that do not meet the legal obligations imposed under the landing law. The agency stressed that the move targets information that could pose risks or contravene regulatory requirements while seeking to balance free access with necessary oversight. By curbing search visibility for these sites, the ministry intends to reduce exposure to content deemed noncompliant or potentially harmful, reinforcing the importance of accountability in the global hosting ecosystem.
The report also notes a separate episode wherein earlier sanctions were imposed on Telegram for not fully complying with Roskomnadzor’s directives. The broader context shows a pattern of enforcement actions aimed at ensuring that foreign and domestic providers adhere to the same set of rules when affecting Russian users. The agency highlighted that noncompliance triggers measures designed to align international digital services with national regulatory standards, a theme that has featured prominently in recent policy discussions and public statements by the ministry.
For residents in Canada and the United States who rely on international services for hosting, cloud storage, or website management, the Roskomnadzor announcements underscore the importance of verifying the legitimacy of official communications. Users should be cautious of unsolicited emails that request personal information or instruct urgent actions, and they should verify any such claims through official Roskomnadzor portals or trusted government channels. In a digital landscape where phishing and misinformation can travel quickly, a cautious approach and confirmation through official sources remain the best defense against scams and misrepresentation.
