15 million Russians have registered a self-imposed ban on loans through Gosuslugi.
In Russia, the number of citizens who have used the option to set a self‑ban on taking out loans and credit is growing. According to the government, about 15 million people have registered for this service to date. Earlier we wrote that 135,000 people in the Kirov Region have done so.
The self‑ban was included in the first package of measures to protect citizens from cybercriminals, which came into effect at the beginning of this year. The package brings together 30 initiatives aimed at improving security and reducing the number of crimes in the financial sector, reports the ANO "National Priorities."
The government continues to develop new measures. A ban on international calls is planned to be introduced in the near future, since, officials say, criminals often operate using foreign numbers. The issue of liability for the use of artificial intelligence in fraudulent schemes is also being considered.
