Do not publish your address and workplace: the Ministry of Internal Affairs warned Russians about the dangers of social networks.
According to the newspaper "Kommersant," Russians are advised not to publish information about their place of study and work, residential address, as well as information about family and close ones. Such information can be used by recruiters and other malicious actors.
In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs recommends not to share personal views in open chats and not to respond to personal questions from unfamiliar users. Before starting a conversation, it is advisable to check the interlocutor's profile, pay attention to the account registration date, and other available information about them.
Earlier, the Ministry of Digital Development reported that since the beginning of 2026, the number of cybercrimes in Russia has decreased by almost a third. The agency also announced new measures to protect users. In particular, a special "red button" is planned to be launched on the "Gosuslugi" portal, which will allow users to report fraud and quickly protect their data.
