The number of cybercrimes in Krasnodar for the year decreased by 37.2%

In Krasnodar in January-September 2026 registered 3,500 crimes using information technologies. This is 37.2% less than in the same period last year. At the same time, the total damage from such crimes exceeded 1.6 billion rubles. This is reported by “Business FM Krasnodar” with reference to the head of the press service of the city Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Artem Konovalenko.

Most of the recorded crimes were IT fraud – 2.6 thousand cases. Compared to last year, their number decreased by 35%. Also, there were 30.7% fewer bank thefts – 345 such facts were recorded in nine months. The number of cases of illegal access to computer information decreased by 61.5% to 168.

The majority of victims of cybercrime are people aged 30 to 49 years. During this period, they counted about a thousand people, or 45% of the total number of victims. In 392 cases, the damage exceeded 1 million rubles.

According to Konovalenko, in 55% of cases, fraudsters are represented by employees of mobile operators, the portal “State Services”, the FSB or Rosfinmonitoring. Under this pretext, they are trying to gain access to accounts and personal data of citizens.

Among the common schemes of deception are offers to make money on the crypto exchange through phishing applications and buying cars abroad. The scheme with reports of a family member in trouble fraudsters this year almost stopped using.

Instead, a new scheme appeared – the so-called “video searches”. Attackers contact the victims through messengers and force them to film their own apartment, collect valuables and transfer them to couriers. Konovalenko stressed that people who take money and valuables from victims are accomplices in crimes.
