Accounts on “State Services” proposed to block when changing the password and phone

Thus, the department responded to the request of the publication to talk about ways to combat attackers who seek to access the accounts of Russians on the portal. A temporary lock can be introduced in case of simultaneous change of at least two identification parameters – for example, phone number and password. In addition, the All-Russian Popular Front (ONF) also proposed to automatically notify credit institutions of a suspicious simultaneous change of access to the account on Gosuslugi. The proposals may be included in the list of amendments to the second reading of the bill on combating Internet fraud. Currently, in case of suspected account hacking, it can be blocked by contacting the MFC. “For many, the process takes several days. During this time, attackers download data from a citizen’s profile, use the capabilities of a personal account, download fake documents and so on, said Yevgenia Lazareva, project manager of the Onf For the Rights of Borrowers and coordinator of the Moshelivka platform. The fact that the fraudsters began to simulate the hacking of an account on the portal “State Services” to lure money from Russians, it became known at the end of 2024. Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov reported that last year there were 50 thousand cases of scammers gaining access to personal accounts on Gosuslugi.
