00:00:13The NTV television company's news service welcomes you. Denis Kaplya is in the studio.
00:00:17Hello. Today
00:00:19marks the final stage of the three-day voting. By evening,
00:00:23the first results of the elections to the State Duma and
00:00:26companies of various levels will begin to be announced. All relevant information is flowing in.
00:01:00was about 45%, slightly more than
00:01:0345%, as of Sunday morning.
00:01:07In Russia, as we all know, deputies of the ninth convocation,
00:01:11governors, and regional parliaments are being elected.
00:01:13450 deputies will be elected,
00:01:17225 deputies will be elected
00:01:20in single-mandate constituencies, and
00:01:22another 225 by party lists.
00:01:26Remote electronic voting is being held in thirty-three
00:01:29regions. For example, in the previous State Duma elections, it
00:01:32was held in only seven regions of the country. In these
00:01:36elections, more than 3,000
00:01:39candidates are registered in federal lists and more than 1,500
00:01:42in single-mandate constituencies.
00:01:45It is also worth noting that 10 parties are participating in the elections: United Russia,
00:01:48LDPR, the Party of Direct Democracy, the Greens, A Just Russia, Rodina,
00:01:52CPRF, the Pensioners' Party, Communists of Russia, and New
00:01:56People. In addition to the State Duma elections,
00:02:00simultaneously and during the single voting days,
00:02:032,200 election campaigns of various levels will be held. In the
00:02:07regions, for example, gubernatorial elections are taking place in Tver,
00:02:10Belgorod, Bryansk, Penza, Ulyanovsk
00:02:13regions, the Chechen Republic, Tuva, and Mordovia. Also, in
00:02:1639 regions, elections of deputies of
00:02:20legislative bodies are taking place. This is the parliament of legislative assemblies. For
00:02:23example, this includes Altai Krai,
00:02:26Kamchatka, Krasnoyarsk, Perm, Primorsky, and Stavropol krais.
00:02:30also regions and republics. The total turnout, as I
00:02:33already said, Denis, at this minute is about 40%. Well, the
00:02:36DEC system this year, about which I already spoke, set
00:02:40a record. According to data from the federal and Moscow
00:02:43electronic voting platform, the total number of
00:02:45voters who chose this method exceeded
00:02:495.8 million people. DEC is being conducted in
00:02:5232 regions excluding Moscow. The capital
00:02:55operates its own system. In Moscow, for the federal
00:02:58electoral district, approximately
00:03:10the same figures apply to single-mandate constituencies. It is also worth
00:03:13noting that, according to the words of the chairperson of the CEC, the
00:03:17DEC system, which Ella Pamfilova repeatedly mentioned,
00:03:20is protected from hacker attacks. The whole point is
00:03:23that there are no interim results in the DEC system.
00:03:26The blockchain it uses stores all votes in an encrypted form. The encryption
00:03:30key is not publicly divided into several
00:03:34parts, and before the start of electronic
00:03:37voting, it is located and after
00:03:41the completion of electronic voting, it is with the custodians,
00:03:44hidden by various technologies and opened only when
00:03:48the results are being summarized. In addition, people vote not only online, but also
00:03:52early. About 4.5 million Russians did so.
00:03:56They voted in the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson
00:03:58regions. Also in Crimea, Sevastopol,
00:04:01Krasnodar Krai, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk, and
00:04:05Rostov regions. Early voting was also
00:04:08organized for those living in hard-to-reach or remote
00:04:12areas. According to the CEC, as of September 16, more
00:04:16than 200,000 people voted
00:04:18this way. The total number of voters in Russia, Denis, as
00:04:22the CEC says, is 111 million
00:04:26people. My colleague Alexander Kanevich
00:04:30will tell us how the elections went all these days and how they are going
00:04:33on the last day of voting. You
00:04:37can go this way. There's a white booth,
00:04:40see, at polling stations in new Russian regions, whose residents
00:04:44are participating in elections for State Duma deputies for the first time. There's a special
00:04:48security regime for obvious reasons, despite external
00:04:51circumstances, the operational situation,
00:04:54and a deterioration in some areas,
00:04:58let's say, of security. Members of the local election commission, including
00:05:01themselves, still come to our polling station, and to others,
00:05:05I'm not afraid. It is necessary to do this, because who else
00:05:09will do it, besides us, the true residents who care about
00:05:13the future of their region. Since opening, on the first day of voting, high
00:05:17turnout has been recorded here. People are actively voting, despite the threats
00:05:20coming from the Kyiv regime. People are going, people are casting
00:05:23their votes, regardless of the
00:05:26situation, they are not paying attention to provocations,
00:05:29not to any leaflets that the enemy
00:05:33tried to scatter, so
00:05:36what? Yes, there were precedents, so people just laugh at these leaflets
00:05:39and go on to cast their votes. They publish
00:05:43symbols of the Kyiv regime, yes, that is,
00:05:46with calls not to go, not to cast your vote, and
00:05:50people, among others, say: "Well, we're going." In any case,
00:05:54we have everything here, and you will
00:05:58all use it, yes, yes, of course, that is, we will provide
00:06:01any help until the ambulance arrives. And these are shots from
00:06:05Makeyevka, a large city in the Donetsk People's Republic. Its residents
00:06:08call these elections a historical event, and the voting process: The third
00:06:59final day at the polling stations, according to the observations of experienced election commission employees, is usually as
00:07:03busy and tense as the first. Part of the voters work on
00:07:07Saturday, so three-day voting provides additional
00:07:10opportunities and conveniences.
00:09:32in Germany, despite the recent closure of the Russian
00:09:35Consulate General, there is only one polling station in
00:09:38Berlin. Well, by contrast, in China, for example, the situation is different.
00:10:25but I will probably vote today by ballot the old-fashioned way,
00:10:28Denis. Well, as for other data, we
00:10:32will observe them here at the Central Election
00:10:34Commission.
00:10:37Thank you, that was Anton Tal, from the CEC, the very latest
00:10:41information on the course of the elections, all the latest data on the course of voting in
00:10:44the next news bulletins on the NTV Channel's social
00:10:47networks.
00:10:51Vladimir Putin congratulated him by phone on his convincing victory in the elections.
00:11:26The elections in South Ossetia were held on Friday. More than
00:11:2985% of voters cast their ballots for Marat Kambolov,
00:11:33a native of North Ossetia, former Deputy Minister of Education of Russia,
00:11:36and later acting head of South Ossetia.
00:11:39For nine-year-old Sasha from the Tula
00:11:43region, an ordinary walk on a sunny day is extremely
00:11:47dangerous. The boy has a rare vascular
00:11:50anomaly, due to which he is forced to spend most
00:11:54of his time at home. A course of
00:11:57laser operations could help, which costs 1.5 million rubles. The family cannot
00:12:01afford to pay for Sasha's treatment themselves. Alexey
00:12:05Yevlev knows how we
00:12:06can help.
00:12:12By the time his parents arrive, Sasha Vabakov bakes delicious
00:12:15buns himself, although he honestly admits to us that he dreams
00:12:19of something completely different: playing football in the yard or any other
00:12:22game with his peers, just not to be alone at home. I
00:12:26always want to go out in the morning and walk with my friends, because all my friends
00:12:30go out for walks in the morning, but I can't. Extensive capillary
00:12:33malformation, that's what doctors call the disease, when a
00:12:37spot appears on the patient's skin, which rapidly,
00:12:40like dough on yeast, grows, as soon as
00:12:44even a ray of sun falls on it. And also, if
00:12:47you accidentally touch such a sore, a massive
00:12:50hemorrhage will begin, which cannot be stopped for several hours.
00:12:54Doctors say: "To completely limit the sun, he even
00:12:58loves fishing, we go fishing only in the evening, after 9,
00:13:01after 10, that's how he also goes out for walks in the evening." So
00:13:05Sasha turned into a night dweller. During the day, he usually
00:13:09only goes to school, sits at his desk in the very corner,
00:13:12away from the windows. Most of all, the boy loves days when the sky
00:13:16is covered with clouds and it is continuously raining. He can leave the house
00:13:20without fear. On sunny weather, he only goes out
00:13:23after applying a thick layer of cream to the spot
00:13:27and trying to hide his left cheek under the brim of his
00:13:30baseball cap. The only way to combat the disease is
00:13:33to perform a complex laser operation. According to the standards
00:13:37of the Ministry of Health, the patient is currently entitled to only two
00:13:40such procedures per year. Each of them is very
00:13:43expensive, over 300,000 rubles. We need
00:13:46to go every 7-8 weeks and do this
00:13:49laser operation.
00:13:53Well, we only get a quota for two times a year. Doctors say that if capillary
00:13:56malformation is not defeated now, while Sasha is still
00:13:59young, his life will be ruined by the cruel sun
00:14:03forever. Here is a patient who did not receive
00:14:06this type of treatment,
00:14:09and what we see by the age of 45 is hypertrophy
00:14:13of the spot, facial asymmetry, multiple
00:14:16volumetric formations that cause not only
00:14:20a cosmetic defect, the disease itself is not
00:14:24cosmetic...
00:14:27The Line of Life charitable foundation came to the aid of the Babakov
00:14:31family, announcing a fundraiser for several laser operations
00:14:34for the boy. The child needs to undergo
00:14:38about 6-8 procedures per year, ideally
00:14:41each procedure should occur 7-8 weeks
00:14:45after the previous one, so that the cells do not
00:14:48have time to recover and so that the pathological formation
00:14:52decreases, and not just to stop it. To
00:14:55win this race with the sun itself and completely overcome
00:14:59capillary malformation, and thereby forever restore
00:15:02Alexander's beautiful face, only you can do it, by collecting
00:15:06the necessary amount for one year of treatment - 1,524
00:15:08rubles.
00:15:11Alexander and his loved ones are confident that adults will not leave
00:15:15him alone with the disease. This kind,
00:15:17quiet child will finally be able to step out of the shadows.

00:15:27This night, Russian troops again launched high-precision weapon
00:15:31and drone strikes against Ukrainian enterprises, warehouses,
00:15:34and ports that are used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces for their purposes. Local
00:15:37residents are publishing footage on social media of air defense systems operating in the sky over the Ukrainian
00:15:41capital. Our Ministry of Defense specifies that the Radionix
00:15:44radio-electronic industry enterprise was hit. They produce
00:15:48control systems for drones and cruise missiles, specifically those such as
00:15:51Flamingo and Neptune. In addition, strikes hit a
00:15:55warehouse of components and booster rockets for
00:15:58long-range drones. In the Odesa region, a logistics
00:16:02center that distributed military cargo came under
00:16:05fire. In the port of Chornomorsk, a tanker involved in delivering weapons
00:16:09to the front line
00:16:11was destroyed by Geran.

00:21:33tomorrow's weather: European territory of Russia, the cold air from
00:21:36the North Atlantic is pushing harder and harder, which activates adverse atmospheric
00:21:40processes. First, rains in the west of the Russian Plain, this is already
00:21:44tonight. By the end of the day, the cold front with heavy rains
00:21:47will reach the very center, and then the temperature will drop, but in
00:21:51the Black Earth region, it will hardly change. At the same time, the autumn
00:21:55processes along the Volga will not affect it at all yet. The Northwest
00:21:58remains with rains, strong and in some places very strong. Tomorrow in the Leningrad

00:23:00"Mom, send money." How scammers
00:23:03write on behalf of loved ones, and what will help detect
00:23:06the deception. Mushroom picker wanted.
00:23:09New technologies are being used to search for people lost
00:23:13in the forest. And also Esenin and
00:23:16Mayakovsky are now internet idols.
00:23:20We will show neural network rap to the verses of Russian poets,
00:23:23which gained popularity on the network.
00:23:27Good morning, these are digital investigations. My name is
00:23:30Elmira Ifenziyeva. Together with experts, we
00:23:33explore the digital world, and tell you how to use new
00:23:37technologies for good and avoid the traps
00:23:40of scammers. Messengers have long become an important part of our
00:23:44lives. There's work, family chats, friends, so a familiar
00:23:47account usually doesn't raise suspicions. And scammers
00:23:51actively exploit this. They gain access to someone else's page
00:23:54and start writing on behalf of its owner. So how can
00:23:58you tell that there's a completely different person on the other side
00:24:01of the screen? Radmir
00:24:03Sultanov figured it out.
00:24:06Anastasia Rastorgueva from Tomsk had her account hacked on a popular social
00:24:10network. She found out about it by chance from a notification in
00:24:13a messenger. Scammers put the logo of an energy
00:24:17company on her profile and started sending messages about planned
00:24:20outages with a link to a phishing site. I felt
00:24:23panic, anxiety, because it was the first time
00:24:27I had been in such a situation, and I immediately wanted
00:24:30to delete my profile so that no one else would get any access to my
00:24:34account. However, she couldn't quickly delete the hijacked account.
00:24:37The platform gives the user 30 days to cancel the decision.
00:24:41The girl still doesn't understand how the scammers managed
00:24:45to pull it off. I didn't receive any codes to log in, although they
00:24:48should have come. Unknown people added her to a chat
00:24:52allegedly of the Moscow
00:25:10energy company, but the criminals gave
00:25:13away the city. I have no relation to Moscow.
00:25:16I am a resident of the city of Kazan.
00:25:20In the chat, there
00:25:22were people I didn't
00:25:25know. In this chat, they were asking for
00:25:28access codes.
00:25:31I immediately understood that these were
00:25:34scammers. One of the heroines of our story said that
00:25:38she had two-factor authentication enabled, and she didn't send any code to
00:25:42anyone, and yet the scammers hacked her account. How did this happen? First, she doesn't
00:25:46know where she got her SIM card. Maybe the SIM card was in someone else's
00:25:50hands when she bought it. Second, she
00:25:53doesn't remember if her phone was always with her. It could have fallen into
00:25:57the wrong hands, and at that moment her correspondence, and in particular her
00:26:01SMS messages, could have been intercepted. Third, she could have connected to
00:26:04free Wi-Fi somewhere. Everyone does that. If there's no
00:26:08lock, I have bad news for you. It turns out everyone is at risk.
00:26:11We are all just at risk. We are naked in the digital forest. Any mushroom
00:26:15is a toadstool. So, two-factor authentication is still not
00:26:18very protective. Without it, it's just disaster. But
00:26:21it doesn't save you, why? If you ever used the same password
00:26:25in two different services, I have really bad news for you.
00:26:29Other ways scammers could have gotten the code, for example, is
00:26:32through malicious software that could have been on the device. So the person, it seems,
00:26:36received this SMS, they didn't tell anyone, but the scammers found out about it because
00:26:40ну он получил эту эсэмэску, он никому её не говорил, а мошенники о ней узнали, потому что
00:26:44they once downloaded some program. The simplest thing is to
00:26:47keep two devices. One, for example, a home computer, only when I turn
00:26:50it on. The rest of the time it's not on the Internet. This is considered
00:26:54the main one. Periodically check it for open
00:26:57sessions. With this, you can always recover
00:27:01your account if another device was compromised.
00:27:04This will probably save you. Scammers carefully study potential
00:27:08victims, gathering data from leaks, open sources, and phishing
00:27:12questionnaires. How to recognize a fake is explained by a specialist
00:27:15from that very energy company. Correspondence
00:27:18is not conducted in messengers; all interaction between the client and
00:27:22the company is carried out only within the personal account, the website, or
00:27:26with a representative of the contact center. But people often
00:27:28believe these fake chats, because there are dozens of participants with
00:27:33profiles. Where do scammers get them? Alas, this is a powerful industry.
00:27:37We found entire marketplaces where accounts of real
00:27:40people are sold. Sellers describe the product in detail: year
00:27:43of registration, number of friends, photos,
00:27:46subscribers. By clicking the link, a profile opens. Before us
00:27:50is the page of Maria from St. Petersburg, hundreds of friends, thousands of photos,
00:27:54and even a phone number. We managed to find this same girl on another
00:27:58social network. She is a real person, an entrepreneur, and judging by her
00:28:01publications, she is currently vacationing in Thailand. We
00:28:04just discovered your page for sale on one of the
00:28:07marketplaces, selling it for 5,500 rubles,
00:28:10and you really don't even know anything about it, do you?
00:28:14No, I don't think my account is so interesting that anyone would
00:28:18need it. With Maria's consent, we
00:28:21tried to buy the account. The bank blocked the transfer three
00:28:24times as suspicious, but on the fourth attempt, the payment went through. Two-factor
00:28:28authentication was bypassed by choosing an alternative login with a password
00:28:32that the seller sent. Yes, we
00:28:35logged into the account, everything works.
00:28:38A few minutes and a real person's page belongs to us, along
00:28:42with photos, contacts, and personal data. What
00:28:45if it's used for fraud? Who will be held responsible?
00:28:49The page owner, the seller, or the platform where the purchase took place?
00:28:53The Criminal Code is structured in such a way that the investigator, when investigating a criminal
00:28:56case, evaluates the actions of all participants. First of all,
00:29:00the person who transferred the account is liable if they did it for money
00:29:04or if a crime was committed, and of course, the person who organized
00:29:08this scheme is also criminally liable. It turns out that the most
00:29:11protected in this scheme is the intermediary, that is, the marketplace
00:29:15where accounts are sold. We
00:29:17really found an account in a few minutes, which has both friends and
00:29:21a lively history, that is, a complete profile of a living person. All of this is sold
00:29:24in open access. Why does this even
00:29:28exist? Around this world, on one side there is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, on the other side.
00:30:02it starts with, "Oh, I'm your mom, I lost my phone," now from an unknown
00:30:06number or from some fake account on a fake
00:30:10network it writes. "Well, that's good, let's switch to a backup channel." So, two
00:30:13phones in your pockets, that's one thing. Second, a code phrase. I would advise
00:30:17saying the code phrase, the code answer,
00:30:20in advance to relatives, the accountant, friends, and even
00:30:24the boss. Ask a simple question, but with a
00:30:28trick. For example, ask what my cat's name is. The scammer
00:30:31will say: Boris, and you tell him, "But I don't have
00:30:35a dog in slippers, well that's it, I mean
00:30:38make fun of the scammer, yes ask some simple question, or
00:30:42where we hung out last week, he'll say, we were
00:30:45somewhere at a concert,
00:30:48and you'll say, we were at the dacha and I was with someone else without you,
00:30:52if you understand that this is...
