In April 2017, Rostelecom (AS12389) originated 50 prefixes for numerous other [[autonomous system (Internet)|autonomous systems]] (AS). This caused Internet traffic normally destined for these organizations to instead be routed to Rostelecom. The [[BGP hijacking|hijacked]] prefixes belonged to financial institutions (most notably MasterCard and Visa), other telecom companies, and a variety of other organizations.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BGPstream and The Curious Case of AS12389 {{!}} BGPmon |url=https://bgpmon.net/bgpstream-and-the-curious-case-of-as12389/ |access-date=2017-10-17 |website=bgpmon.net |language=en}}</ref> What makes the list of affected networks 'curious' is the high number of financial institutions such as: MasterCard, Visa, Fortis, [[Alfa-Bank]], and more. The other notable characteristic of this event is that the advertisement included several more prefixes that were more specifically defined than the prefixes normally announced, which makes it less likely that these were unintentionally leaked.
In 2017 State-owned Rostelecom PJSC has been selected to run the database,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Russia Plans National Biometric Database Starting Next Year | website=[[Bloomberg News]] |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-26/russia-plans-national-biometric-database-starting-next-year?leadSource=uverify%20wall}}</ref> which will collect personal data including images of faces, voice samples and, eventually, irises and fingerprints.
