Krympress reports:
Fraudsters, according to Sberbank, in 2025 can steal from Russians up to 340-350 billion rubles, which is about 50 billion rubles more than last year, in an interview said RIA Novosti The deputy chairman of the Bank of the Bank Stanislav Kuznetsov.
We determine the following forecasts for this year. If measures that are now taken at the legislative level and at the level of various regulators will not earn or earn weak, or will slip, then the losses of Russians in 2025 can be at least 340-350 billion rubles, He said.
This year, in five months, scammers stole more than 80 billion rubles among Russians. The total damage to citizens from fraud in 2024 amounted to at least 295 billion rubles.
The losses of citizens from scammers are already comparable to the budgets of entire industries — we are talking about massive embezzlement, which requires a systematic response at the state level, according to the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, the federal coordinator of the Digital Russia party project Anton Nemkin.
According to him, the main threat today is not a technical hacking, namely social engineering: calls, falsification of sites, and the belief to transfer the money “to a safe account”.
350 billion rubles are not just statistics. These are millions of lives violated by financial stress. And the tendency to increase losses has been preserved for the third year in a row. Attackers do not act through vulnerabilities in software, but through vulnerabilities in the minds of people. And while the prevention and training of the population will not become a priority, to talk about a decrease in damage to premature— Nemkin emphasizes.
Banks still do not have time to work out all the incidents in real time.
Not only technological solutions are needed, but also legal automation — including blocking dubious translations and an operational rollback of fraudulent transactions based on behavioral analysis, — believes the deputy.
Now many banks are betting on antifrod systems, but people continue to voluntarily transfer funds to scammers. This means that we must proceed to more active education — through schools, social networks, advertising campaigns. Without mass digital literacy, we will “beat on the tails”, ”the parliamentarian added.
He also noted that today work continues to form a second package of measures to combat scammers.
We need a single digital circuit against scammers, where everyone from the user to the investigator will be part of the secure system, ”he concluded.
