In January-September, 2,173 crimes committed using information and telecommunication technologies were registered in the Ivanovo region. According to law enforcement agencies, this is 26% less than in the same period last year.

Nearly half of this is remote fraud. The damage from the actions of telephone and Internet scammers exceeded 391 million rubles.

Another 19.3% of crimes (about 420) were committed using social engineering methods - psychological manipulations to lure confidential data.
