Russia puts into place a system of allocation of internet sites .ru

As part of the fight against the fraud, the Russian organization charged to allocate domain names in .ru took a drastic measure. Henceforth, to have allocated such a domain name, it will be necessary to provide a copy of valid identity. Russia hopes with this new constraint to limit to the maximum an aspect of bad reputation which affects it with regard to Internet attacks and the online frauds.
In actual fact, it will not be really useful in the world fight of these swindle in any way. The pirates will have good time depositing domain names elsewhere if they are needed for some of their activity, and the problem will only be off-set elsewhere.
All in all, the Internet infrastructures were not envisaged with at the time when they were launched to fight against of the various attempts to swindle. This is especially true for the email where the systems of authentification are still very rare and the parts added to try to plug the enormous leaks are not very successful.
