[tanjimajuha20]

VK, Sber, Tinkoff and other IT companies have proposed not to create a fund to pay compensation to victims of data leaks, pointing to the possibility of using the money to develop cybersecurity. The companies found the initiative demotivating

affected by data leaks, as proposed by the Ministry of Digital Development, is inappropriate, since the actual amounts will be unpredictable, and the activities of the bureaucracy will require regular funding from the federal budget. This position on the ministry's proposals was taken by the Big Data Association (ABD), Kommersant writes.

The Ministry proposed jordan cell phone number list
to replenish the fund from the turnover fines of companies that have allowed data leaks. However, the association believes that it is more reasonable for companies to direct funds to audits of their information systems. According to IT companies, a single method for calculating compensation will not take into account the real level of information security and the company's guilt, which "demotivates investment in cybersecurity."

If there is an opportunity to avoid a turnover fine for a violation, this, on the contrary, will only stimulate companies to conduct a voluntary audit of security systems, said the association's president Anna Serebryannikova.

The members of the ABD are VK, Sberbank, Yandex, Skolkovo, MTS, Tinkoff, VTB, QIWI, Rostelecom and other large IT companies.

This year, the number of leaks of personal data has increased in Russia, with 305 databases of information appearing on the Internet in the first half of the year alone, which is 45.9% more than the same period last year, according to InfoWatch statistics. The volume of stolen data has increased more than 16 times and amounted to 187.6 million records.

The Ministry of Digital Development has proposed imposing a fine if a database with 10,000 records has leaked onto the Internet, of which at least 1,000 people can be identified with certainty. If the database contains more than 100,000 lines, then the company will be fined if it is possible to identify 10,000 people. The head of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, Andrei Klishas, ​​is in favor of introducing turnover fines, according to whom companies of different sizes cannot be "combed with the same comb", and the current fines are disproportionate to the damage.
