What is SpyBuster?
SpyBuster is a Chrome extension dedicated to providing users with enhanced online security. As users surf the internet, it provides them with valuable information about websites and services that are potentially exposed to Russian servers, due to Federal bills No. 374-FZ and 375-FZ. This vital information helps both targeted internet users and unsuspecting media outlets to safeguard their data from potential exposure and take action to rectify any unknowing connections with Russian servers.

Summary

SpyBuster provides users with online security. When users surf the web, they can immediately see sites and services connected to Russian Federation. The extension also has a social significance — users can determine which sites or media connect to Russian servers and inform them about it so they can fix the problem. Many media outlets are unaware that their sites connection to Russian servers.

Why is this important?

In July 2016, Russia enforced Federal bills No. 374-FZ and 375-FZ. The bill requires telecom providers to store the content of voice calls, data, images, and text messages on Russian servers for 6 months, and their metadata (e.g., time, location, message sender, and recipients) for 3 years. Online services such as messengers, emails, and social networks that use encrypted data are required to permit the Federal Security Service (FSB) to access and read their encrypted communications.
