The Ministry of Digital Development in Russia has proposed a new measure, part of the 'Antifraud 3.0' package, which would require foreign websites and applications operating in Russia to authenticate users located in the country solely by phone number. This includes storing user account data for three years and providing it to law enforcement agencies upon request. The proposal is still under discussion and may be submitted to the State Duma in late 2026.
