Why is it interesting?
According to experts of the State Service for Special Communications, the focus of Russian attackers has shifted from unsuccessful attempts to stop the operation of infrastructure or telecommunications facilities to espionage and personal data retrieval. Countering phishing attacks is an essential component of building a defense system and involves joint and coordinated work of government agencies and providers

In early 2023, at the request of the National Security Council of Ukraine, a phishing domain filtering system was created as part of the National Domain Name Service. The system, which was introduced following this request, obliges providers to block resources that distribute phishing emails automatically. The decision drew criticism from ISPs, who expressed reservations about the system’s possible use for censorship on the Internet. The system’s developers believe that this solution will help to more effectively prevent espionage by Russian special services, while the system contains mechanisms for public and civic control.
