Consensus

- Users of Visa and Mastercard may encounter difficulties when making online payments.
- The issue arises due to the use of foreign browsers and the transition away from international SSL certificates.
- The warning about unsecured connections does not indicate a real security threat.

- The transition is described as a common practice among Russian organizations and does not affect the security or functionality of payment services.
Points of divergence

- The shift is linked to Russian financial institutions being on sanction lists from the EU and US, which prevents them from receiving new certificates from international certification authorities. — kommersant
- The Central Bank of Russia has not set specific deadlines for withdrawing Visa and Mastercard cards issued by Russian banks, and the process is ongoing gradually without administrative intervention. — vedomosti
