Russia is preparing a bill that would transfer control over the activities of "white hackers" to the FSB, and it also provides for the creation of a special register.
This was reported by the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine.
According to the SZR, the bill will require cybersecurity specialists who search for vulnerabilities in software code to undergo mandatory identification, and companies to receive state accreditation. Control over their activities is planned to be transferred to the FSB.
The document also provides for the creation of a registry of "white hackers," who will actually turn into "gray" or "black," Ukrainian intelligence notes.
In addition, the bill provides for punishment under a criminal article in case of refusal to report found vulnerabilities.
"The Russian authorities continue their policy of total control over the digital sphere, seeking to centralize even the activities of independent cybersecurity specialists," the SVR added.
