In 4 days, exactly on March 11, Russia could be officially ‘off’ the Internet, completing the isolation from global communications that has been in place since the first day of the attack on Ukraine. Sources expert in cyber-security confirm that Moscow has started preparations to transfer all transmissions, connections to servers and management of internal domains on a parallel network, the national intranet ‘Rucom’. This is what emerges from two documents sent by the Ministry of digital development, communication and mass media “to the federal executive authorities and to the executive authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation”, and in which it is asked to “verify access to the personal accounts of the administrators of the domains of public sites on the Internet, update and (or) make the password policy more complex “with” the addition of authentication factors for users “, the displacement of transmissions to DNS servers located on the territory of the Russian federation , the deletion from HTML pages of all Javascript codes downloaded from foreign resources.Moreover, if the sites use a foreign hosting, the public resources will be moved to a Russian hosting and you are then asked to move all the active sites on this intranet to a domain ‘.ru’. The application of the measures will be reported to the Moscow Ministry of Digital Development by 15 March.
