The Integral Moscow Research Institute and the Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ have signed a cooperation agreement on counteracting and preventing internet abuse.
In accordance with the agreement, the Coordination Center acknowledges the competence of Integral in detecting violations related to the use of national domain names on the internet. As a competent organization, the company will collect and analyze information about online resources that are used for various kinds of illegal internet activity, and submit requests to domain registrars accredited in .RU and .РФ to cancel the delegation of such domains.
Integral will be in charge of detecting cases of phishing using a research platform developed by the institute to counteract phishing resources. The platform efficiently detects such resources, both new and re-registered ones. Phishing resources are identified almost in real time, and the analysis of domain names for possible violations covers no fewer than 20 various criteria. Using artificial intelligence technologies, the platform detects phishing resources within several minutes of their appearance with 96-97 percent accuracy.
The Coordination Center adopted the practice of cooperating with organizations competent in detecting internet abuse in 2012. These are companies that provide the Coordination Center and its accredited domain name registrars with information about resources with illegal content, as well as about cases of phishing, unauthorized access to information systems and malware distribution in .RU and .РФ. The registrars have the right to cancel the delegation of such domain names.
The Coordination Center currently collaborates with 12 competent organizations: the National Coordination Center for Computer Incidents, the Safe Internet League, Group-IB, Kaspersky Lab, RU-CERT, ROCIT, Roskomnadzor, BI.Zone, Bank of Russia, Dr.WEB, Rostelecom-Solar and the Integral Moscow Research Institute. Any user can report a domain name violation by calling the hotline of a competent organization for prompt action. Information about the competent organizations, their hotlines and the said cooperation is available on the website доменныйпатруль.рф.
