Russia is preparing a bill that provides for the creation of a register of "white hat hackers," who will actually turn into "gray" or "black" ones. This is reported by UNN with reference to the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine.
Details
This bill will oblige cybersecurity specialists who are engaged in finding vulnerabilities in program code to undergo mandatory identification, and relevant companies must obtain state accreditation.
Control over the activities of so-called "white hat hackers" is planned to be transferred to the FSB: there will be criminal liability for refusing to report found vulnerabilities.
The Russian authorities continue their policy of total control over the digital sphere, seeking to centralize even the activities of independent cybersecurity specialists
Recall
Google specialists discovered a large-scale cyberattack by the Russian group Clop, which stole data from dozens of international organizations. Hackers used vulnerabilities in Oracle E-Business Suite software, demanding a ransom for the stolen information.
