Mishustin instructed the Ministry to strengthen the protection of data of users of “State Services”

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin instructed the Ministry to work out additional conditions for entering the portal of public services or restoring access to it.

The Ministry of Digital Development, of course, needs to strengthen and protect the accounts of the public services portal, which is used by 120 million people. Their data must be stored securely. Please, we need to work out additional conditions for entering the platform or when restoring access to it, he said at the Digital Solutions forum.

At the end of September, the Ministry presented the third package of measures to combat cyber fraud. One of the key innovations will be the creation of a single consent platform on the public services portal. Users will be able to see in real time which organizations and for what purposes use their personal data, including those obtained offline. This will allow not only to revoke previously issued permits, but also to promptly report violations to the regulatory authorities.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs, in particular, warns that “Public Services” do not send users notifications about unauthorized entry, and messages about the alleged blocking of an account and leakage of data with a call to call a particular number are typical actions of fraudsters.
