| RUSSIA | An important warning for Russia-bound travelers: TAS connectivity is temporarily unavailable there. This is due to a significant recent increase in toll fraud, where account information and passwords have been compromised. CGNET's network partners in that region have implemented a blanket access block for all their service providers until safeguards can been developed and implemented. This is not an isolated problem and will likely affect CGNET users and non-CGNET users alike. CGNET is now working on alternate connectivity solutions for that region. |
