Attackers are currently focused on attacks that can have a major public resonance, and they also post anti-Russian materials and fake news on the Internet, Nikolai Murashov stated.

The flow of unreliable information is growing, so there is a need for tools that can counter this threat, noted Andrey Agapov, a leading researcher at the Research Institute of Information content writing service Security of the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in his speech at Infoforum-Astrakhan. In his opinion,

To identify false information in the media, it is necessary to form a special international organization

Andrey Agapov, Research Institute of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces:




– It is proposed to create an international rating agency that will analyze the activities of leading media outlets and assign them a trust rating. Resonant publications will be checked for fakes. The information will also be compared with a database of trusted sources.

The trust rating is planned to be posted on a website that will publish materials in most known languages. The agency should be created on the basis of large international associations: BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) or the UN, the expert specified.

“The actions of the rating agency will become a deterrent to the promotion of the negative agenda of Western media and will allow the creation of a trusted information space,” Andrey Agapov emphasized.

Attackers are actively using legislative loopholes to create information resources that disseminate false information, Valery Komarov, Head of the Awareness Department of the Information Security Directorate of the Moscow Department of Information Technology (DIT), said at the forum. According to him, additional changes are currently being made to the legislation to solve this problem.

Valery Komarov, DIT Moscow:

– We find websites that imitate the work of Russian authorities with legal content that duplicates their work. For some time, they do not host prohibited information and it is difficult to justify the need to block such sites. But suddenly, extremist information or links for distributing malware may appear on them.

At the same time, the Moscow Department of Information Technology has no legal grounds to block such resources, he noted. “Therefore, we contact the National Coordination Center for Computer Incidents (NCCI) or the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Integral” with requests when it is necessary to block such a site on the Internet for access on the territory of the Russian Federation,” said Valery Komarov.
