The Russian authorities want to collect data on IP addresses and bank cards from passengers of air and railway companies


The Ministry of Transport has prepared a draft order on a new procedure for the formation of automated databases of personal data on passengers and personnel (crew).

According to it, from September 1, the corresponding data must be transmitted by carriers in air, water and rail transport, as well as road transport for intercity and international traffic (except for flights between Moscow and the Moscow region, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region). What will be included in the list of data:

• information about bank cards (last 4 digits, bank name)
• IP addresses
• telephones
• email addresses
• logins and passwords for accounts on the carrier’s website or application
• ticket price
• class of service

The information will be fed into the unified state information system for transport security (USIS OTB). Its operator is the Federal State Unitary Enterprise of the Ministry of Transport “Zashchitainfotrans”. Rosaviatsiya, Rostransnadzor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB have access to it.

At the same time, the Association of Air Transport Operators (AEVT) in its response to the project indicated that some of the additional data about passengers, including account login and password, are “confidential information, and therefore cannot be disclosed without the consent of the subject of such data.”

AEVT noted that the new requirements do not comply with established ICAO recommendations and standards. The current standard, ICAO (Doc 9944) Guidelines for Passenger Name Records (PNRs), “directs States not to require or hold an operator responsible for providing PNR data that is not already collected or contained in its reservation system.” AEVT asked the Ministry of Transport to finalize the project.

The assessment of the benefits is also not very clear, since a person can reach the booking stage on one device, continue purchasing from another, for example, from a mobile device, and carry out all these actions using a VPN.

Smartavia supported AEVT. Russian Railways and other airlines declined to comment.

According to a Kommersant interlocutor close to the Ministry of Transport, the document will no longer be finalized. (Kommersant)

Palia: Find and collect mushrooms

Where do you actually get mushrooms in the new cozy MMO Palia? In which areas can you find and farm as many mushrooms as quickly as possible? And is there a dealer where you can buy the mushrooms such as the glowing mushrooms with gold? In the new Palia you can find and buy some recipes in the course of the game, which you can then prepare on the stove. Some recipes and dishes require mushrooms. While exploring Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay has usually found some mushrooms, it’s often hard to remember where you picked them up. In this short guide we show where to get the mushrooms in Palia.

Where to get mushrooms in Palia?

The mushrooms, like other “wild vegetables” such as garlic, spawn randomly in both areas, i.e. in the Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay. While the Mountain Morel Mushrooms can be found in the east of the Kilima Valley around Whispering Banks and Maji’s Hollow, the Luminescent Mushrooms require traveling to Bahari Bay. Here you can find some luminous mushrooms, especially in the south at the Windy Ruins and at the small ponds between the Windy Ruins and the Hideaway Bluffs. But there are also some glowing mushrooms growing further north at the Flooded Fortress and the Statue Garden.

  • Mountain Morel: East of Kilima Valley from the north in Maji’s Hollow via Chapaa Crossing via the Whispering Banks to Fisherman’s Lagoon.
  • Glowing Mushrooms: In Bahari Bay by the Windy Ruins, west of the Windy Ruins by the same ponds. Flooded Fortress and Statue Garden.

Buy mushrooms from the merchant

If you don’t feel like farming mushrooms for a long time, you can buy some mushrooms, such as mountain morel, from the dealer. In Zeki’s shop you can buy the red mushrooms in the form of mountain morels for 16 gold coins each.
