Ukrzaliznytsia has suspended the activities of 271 accounts that were used for systematic ticket buying and manipulations in the company’s mobile application.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported<\/a> by the carrier’s press service.<\/p>\n

According to UZ, blocked users used schemes with many linked accounts, purchasing small numbers of tickets to circumvent system restrictions. At the same time, they often held tickets in a \u201creserve\u201d without payment, trying to wait for more favorable terms.<\/p>\n

The automated fraud protection system also detected intense search queries and excessive bookings that were overloading the platform. In some cases, these were bots identified by characteristic patterns.<\/p>\n

To combat this abuse, Ukrzaliznytsia has introduced additional security measures, including complex CAPTCHA tests and enhanced user identification. In addition, a system for monitoring abnormal activity has been deployed, which analyzes not only the number of tickets, but also behavior in the application.<\/p>\n

The company emphasized that such practices harm ordinary passengers by making access to tickets more difficult, so they plan to continue to actively combat illegal schemes.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, in August, Ukrzaliznytsia will continue to operate additional trains on popular routes.<\/a> Tickets are already available for purchase for most flights.<\/p>\n

As reported, Ukrzaliznytsia has scheduled an additional train to Odessa. The train will include compartment cars with seating.<\/a><\/p>\n
