The transfer of bank cards to fraudsters will become a criminal offense.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia has prepared a bill on the introduction of criminal liability for droppers - persons who transfer electronic means of payment registered to themselves or access to them to third parties.
Deputy Head of the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Danil Filippov, in an interview with TASS on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum, revealed some details of the bill. According to him, the department proposes the transfer of electronic means of payment registered to itself or access to them as a crime of medium gravity. However, in cases where the dropper acts as part of an organized group or criminal community, the act can be classified as a serious crime.
Filippov also added that the bill has already been sent to the government for further consideration.
Droppers, or drops, are bank customers who issue cards not for personal use, but for transfer to fraudsters. Attackers use these cards to withdraw funds stolen from other bank customers.
It is worth noting that a person can become a dropper both consciously and unknowingly. On the Internet, there are often offers for easy money that only require the provision of a bank card number. Such "vacancies" can attract uninformed people who are unaware of the illegality of such activities.
