In connection with the update of the “Law on Information”, website owners are required to undergo identification through the “State Services”, the Unified Biometric System (UBS) or another reliable method. According to the domain registrar Ru-center, 95% of users have already been identified through Gosuslugi, and on Reg.ru this figure reaches 98%. About this reports Publication “Izvestia”.
Experts believe that this will lead to a sharp decline in the number of phishing scams, as social engineering remains the number one method of attack on individuals in Russia.
Website owners can verify their identity via Gosuslugi using a bank card and a mobile phone number. According to Reg.ru, 55% of hosting users use a bank card for identity verification, 31% use an express payment service, and 12% use a mobile phone number.
Andrey Kuzmichev, CEO of Ru-center, noted that the introduction of customer identification increases the level of security for all participants in the Internet economy. He predicts that as the number of registrations increases, the number of new domain registrations may decrease, but trust in administrators will increase exponentially, and the number of scams will decrease significantly.
