September 26, Fineko/abc.az. American corporation Google has limited creation of new accounts for Russian numbers, and telecom operators have recorded a significant reduction in the number of SMS messages sent by the company to Russian users.

ABC.AZ reports that the Ministry of Finance of Russia recommended that users of the services of American corporation Google in Russia create backup copies of their data, as well as switch to using alternative two-factor authentication methods or to domestic platforms.

The Ministry added that SMS confirmation as the second authorization factor for previously created Russian Google accounts is still working, but "there is no certainty that this opportunity will remain".
