The head of the .RU/.РФ KCD projects, Evgeny Pankov

According to the Coordination Center for .RU/.РФ domains (CCD), most of them, divided in Russian zones in connection with phishing activity, are digital, that is, containing only numbers or numbers and several letters.

According to the KCD, the use of digital domains by phishers began during the COVID-19 epidemic along with the growth in demand for various delivery services, but quickly gained popularity and became widespread.

According to experts from the KCD, the active use of digital domains is due to the ease of their generation and the lack of need to come up with a unique vocabulary component for each name, given that the stock of words and abbreviations in any domain name is limited.

The press service of the Ministry of Digital Development stated that there are quite a few digital domains and in the vast majority of cases they are associated with imitation of payment services, but such cases in the total volume do not exceed 15%. "For the whole of 2022, 28.9 thousand such domain names were blocked," explained a representative of the press service of the ministry.

The department also explained iceland whatsapp resource how they are combating this problem: rules for automated domain search are formed on a regular basis, and if a suspicious site is found, it is analyzed according to various criteria (for example, registration date and hosting provider). If fraudulent activity is confirmed, such a domain is sent for division or blocking.

"After confirming that it was a fraudulent site, we conduct a full analysis of the resource and identify patterns - certain templates that are typical for such sites. This helps to find similar sites in the future and check and block them faster," the press service of the Ministry of Digital Development concluded.

told a ComNews correspondent that thanks to the prompt and coordinated work of competent organizations and registrars, the .RU and .РФ national domains are distinguished by the fastest response speed in the world to stop the use of an illegal domain - on average, 25.5 hours pass from the filing of an application to the termination of the domain delegation. He also believes that such results are no longer enough, since the registration procedure allows for the creation of new domains by the dozens every second.

"We assume that the fight against digital domains, as well as against phishing in RuNet, will become significantly more effective after the introduction of mandatory confirmation of the identity of the domain name administrator through the Unified Identification and Authentication System (ESIA). The draft law providing for mandatory registration of domains through ESIA is being developed by the Ministry of Digital Development. The introduction of this measure would reduce the number of one-time registrations and would lead to a decrease in the number of phishing resources," explained Evgeny Pankov.

Independent expert on telecom and IT markets Vadim Plesskiy believes that KCD .RU/.РФ is trying to fight the effect, not the cause, and the problem with phishing domains is artificial. "If some citizens react to digital domains, then we need to educate people. In the banking sector, we need to work with bank clients through a mobile application. We need to eliminate the use of a link with a complex domain name, which must be followed in a browser, and the problem with phishing sites will be completely solved," said Vadim Plesskiy.
