“These data falling in the hands of fraudsters as such does not entail any significant risks, however, they refer to personal data which are protected by relevant laws. Both distributing such data and receiving them are against the law. The authority dealing with such violations is Roskomnadzor.
A complaint to it may be filed, but today the problem is that since Telegram refuses to comply with Roskomnadzor’s requirements, the complaint will not produce any tangible result”.
