As of 11:00 PM on April 15, 2025, Rutracker has resumed operations after a significant outage that began around 5:00 PM Moscow time the same day. Users from major Russian cities reported difficulties accessing the site, which has been permanently blocked in Russia since 2016. During the outage, users encountered a "Web Server Down" message due to a 521 error from Cloudflare, indicating a connection termination. The access issues appeared to affect only Russian users, as individuals in Italy and Kazakhstan could still access Rutracker. This incident marks the third occurrence in six months raising concerns about the future of popular web resources among Russians. Rutracker had previously announced its own anti-Russian sanctions in March 2022 but continued to be accessible to Russian users until this outage. In January 2023, Rutracker experienced another outage lasting nearly a full day. The recent issues have been attributed to hosting problems, although some users reported no access issues during that time.

Google is enhancing its Play Protect Live Threat Detection system to combat fake and dangerous apps. Recommendations for protecting phones include downloading apps only from the Google Play Store, checking reviews and ratings, installing security updates, and avoiding unknown links.

On October 14, the Moscow City Court permanently restricted access to the torrent tracker Rutor.org and twelve other websites known for hosting pirated content, following a lawsuit by LLC "Basileus Distribution." The court ordered the blocking of sites including Bobfilm.net, Dream-film.net, Kinokubik.com, Kinozal.tv, Kinobolt.ru, Seedoff.net, Torrentor.net, Tushkan.net, Tv.serial-online.net, and Wood-film.ru. This ruling marks the first permanent site block in Russia based on a copyright protection lawsuit. The legal basis for these restrictions stems from amendments to the "anti-piracy law" signed by President Vladimir Putin in November 2014, which allow for lifetime bans on sites that repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights. Additionally, a request for the permanent blocking of RuTracker.org was submitted earlier in October, but discussions between rights holders and RuTracker representatives may lead to the withdrawal of this request.
