The third package of anti-fraud measures, "Antifraud 3.0," could lead to the blocking of all mobile equipment used by airlines, including pilots' tablets. This warning was issued by the Air Transport Operators Association (AEVT), as reported by Business FM radio.

What is the risk for aviation

One of the most controversial proposals in the package is to block all subscriber numbers if at least one of them has been involved in fraud. For corporate communications, this means that if one employee's number is compromised, the organization could lose its entire pool of numbers.

The AEVT explained that airlines actively use SIM cards in mobile equipment, including pilots' tablets, which store all flight information necessary for a flight. Losing access to all SIM cards due to a single incident, according to the association, could lead to a complete halt or significant complication of the carrier's operational activities.

What else raises questions

The Big Data Association warned of the risk of false positives from anti-fraud systems: a signal on one corporate number should not lead to the disconnection of an organization's entire fleet of numbers. AKIT, in turn, points to the restriction of SMS mailings — the package aims to allow them only to communication operators, excluding aggregators through which businesses currently send messages under a single contract.

The Ministry of Digital Development emphasized that "Antifraud 3.0" is currently in the public discussion stage, and it is premature to talk about the final version of the document.
