Flash Talk: Russian Ban on Anonymizing Services
WATCH NOW
The Russian government has introduced new laws and policies to monitor, control and limit internet activity within Russia, ostensibly as a security measure. The new restrictions are unlikely to have a significant effect on the activities of cybercriminals and Russia is likely to remain a hotspot for hackers and a testing ground for new TTPs. Russia’s internet crackdown, however, may impact foreign businesses if the government attempts to further emulate China’s model of internet security.
Topics covered will include:
• Russia's Yarovaya Act, internet messaging law, and law banning anonymizing services
• Russian cybercriminal techniques for maintaining business-as-usual despite stricter laws governing internet use
• Reactions to China's internet crackdown and Russia's potential roadmap for increasing internet security
