“Red button” to protect against fraudsters will work on “public services” until the end of the year, said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko. He explained that the service will help those who fell for the tricks of fraudsters.

After clicking the button, significant online transactions will be frozen, and attackers will not be able to transfer money on behalf of the user or change passwords.

We are working on the "red button" on public services. Now banks and telecom operators are connected to the service. The button will work this year, Grigorenko told RIA Novosti.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the number of cybercrimes in the first six months of 2026 decreased by 30% to 252.9 thousand against 371.4 thousand last year. The Ministry of Finance attributes the decrease in the activity of cybercriminals with the adoption in 2025 of the Anti-Fraud Package. Authorities are currently developing a third package of measures.

Details – in the material “Kommersant” “Mincipals opened the third antifraud”.
