The Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs stopped the activities of criminal groups that committed more than 10 thousand thefts of money from Belarusians.
The Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs stopped the activities of criminal groups that committed more than 10 thousand thefts of money from Belarusians. Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of Digital Development of the Investigative Committee Ivan Sudnikovich told reporters about this, BELTA correspondent reports.
“A year ago, we focused on combating such an area of fraud as phishing. This was a pressing problem for us, we recorded an increase in such crimes. We sorted out which groups were attacking us. Three organized cybercriminal groups were identified that have attacked Belarusians over the past three years in the direction of phishing. The leaders of these groups are located in other countries, mainly neighboring Belarus,” said Ivan Sudnikovich.
According to him, investigators focused their work on identifying the leaders. “Our task was to eliminate their activities. Without disclosing details, it should be noted that this is a unique experience in the post-Soviet space in eliminating such groups. There was infiltration into the groups to reveal their structure. Thus, over the past year, as part of a large-scale operation, the Investigative Committee together with the Ministry Internal Affairs liquidated the activities of the three largest groups that have been attacking Belarusians for the last three years,” noted Ivan Sudnikovich.
As a result, participants and leaders who were in both Belarus and Russia were detained. “We gained access to databases and systematically detained those citizens in Belarus who helped commit crimes. These groups committed the bulk of the thefts of money from Belarusians. This is more than 10 thousand thefts. But the investigation is still ongoing,” concluded Ivan Sudnikovich.

Over the past year, the number of phishing crimes in Belarus has been reduced tenfold. Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of Digital Development of the Investigative Committee Ivan Sudnikovich told reporters about this, BELTA correspondent reports.
“At the moment, to counter phishing, we have developed a whole range of measures. One of them is the timely blocking of phishing resources, which are the main tools of attackers when committing crimes. If previously a certain amount of time was spent on blocking, now, together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Prosecutor General’s Office, we have developed an approach which allows you to block phishing resources within 24 hours after detection,” said Ivan Sudnikovich.
According to him, this makes it possible to effectively counteract criminal groups that work in the direction of phishing. “Thanks to the measures developed over the past year, we have managed to reduce phishing crime tenfold,” emphasized Ivan Sudnikovich

Groups financed by foreign intelligence services are involved in cyber attacks on Belarus. Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of Digital Development of the Investigative Committee Ivan Sudnikovich told reporters about this, BELTA correspondent reports.
“We analyzed criminal cases of cyber attacks on the public sector and determined that over the past three years Belarus has been attacked by five main groups. Three of them are Ukrainian, two are pseudo-Belarusian. These groups are either private or financed by unfriendly states and their intelligence services. We have begun work to search and combine in one proceeding all the crimes committed by these groups,” said Ivan Sudnikovich.
In addition, investigators have identified three main vectors of cyber attacks. “If we are talking about state-owned entities, then cyber attacks are used with a bias towards politics and extremism. They try to block some enterprise or post materials of an extremist nature. The second direction is related to money. In this case, the task is to block resources or systems or steal funds. The third direction of cyber attacks is related to the theft of personal data,” listed Ivan Sudnikovich.

Attackers are increasingly using cryptocurrency to withdraw and legalize stolen money. Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Combating Cybercrime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Alexander Ringevich told reporters about this, BELTA correspondent reports.
“One of the measures we take to combat cybercrime is to bring to justice citizens who carry out illegal business activities in terms of cryptocurrency trading. Currently, attackers are increasingly using this tool to withdraw, legalize and receive stolen funds. Our citizens too they are trying to make money from this, and often they realize that this money was obtained by criminal means,” said Alexander Ringevich.
According to him, this measure to combat cybercrime is quite effective. In the first half of the year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs managed to return more than $4.5 million to state revenue, which can later be used to compensate victims.

The number of serious cybercrimes against Belarusians has more than doubled. Deputy Head of the Main Directorate for Combating Cybercrime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Alexander Ringevich told reporters about this, BELTA correspondent reports.
“Now we are noticing an increase in the number of cybercrimes committed in Belarus. In 2021 and 2022, this trend was somewhat stabilized, but this year we are again noticing an increase that has not occurred over the past two years. It is not so significant, but it is still there. The number of serious cybercrimes has more than doubled. This greatly complicates the operational situation, because the damage caused to our citizens by attackers has increased," said Alexander Ringevich.
The deputy head of the Main Directorate for Criminal Procedure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also noted that there are more cases of theft of funds by modifying computer information. In other words, money was stolen directly from bank payment cards. In addition, Alexander Ringevich emphasized, more fraudulent actions have begun to be committed against Belarusians, including through social networks and trading platforms.
