The Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, together with specialists from the information security company T.Hunter, is preparing methodological materials that will make it possible to more effectively identify the authors of false reports about the mining of schools and other objects. This was reported to Izvestiya by Yuri Gavrilin, head of the Department of Management of Crime Investigation Bodies of the Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
“Based on an application from the Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, we are developing methodological recommendations for identifying so-called false miners using anonymization tools. Completion is scheduled for June 2022. Further, the recommendations will be considered in the scientific and methodological section of the investigative department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and sent to all territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for use in practical work,” Gavrilin said.
The materials will primarily be useful to investigators, employees of operational and operational-technical units, he added.
“In these materials, we describe different methods for identifying false miners. Starting from open data intelligence, which analyzes all available information such as avatars and nicknames, and ending with logging. As part of the last procedure, files transmitting data from the recipient’s computer are sent to the email addresses from which messages about mining are received, ”said Igor Bederov, head of the information and analytical research department at T.Hunter, in turn.
A wave of false mining began in Russia, Belarus and some other countries in January 2022. On February 10, the FSB announced the arrest in Russia of 14 members of closed communities who were engaged in mass false mining. According to the security forces, the organizer and administrator of a network of such communities is an 18-year-old citizen of Ukraine Anton Osipchuk, a student at the Faculty of Information Security of the National Technical University of Ukraine.
