Ilia Zavialov: digital security consultant on crypto, scams and protection
English version for the United Kingdom.
Digital security consultant. Individuals, families and small organisations.
Ilia Zavialov is a digital security consultant. In Russian language publications the same author appears as Илья Завьялов and, in the full form, as Илья Николаевич Завьялов. This site collects his published work on the decisions ordinary people make under time pressure: whether to pay, whether to install, whether to sign, whether to grant access.
01What Ilia Zavialov writes about
Four subjects run through everything published by Ilia Zavialov. Each one is developed in the blog, in the order in which a reader actually meets it.
How crypto actually works
Wallets, keys, custody, exchanges and transfers, explained through what happens to the money at each step rather than through the technology.
Types of scams and how they are built
Each scheme taken apart in the order it unfolds: where the first contact comes from, where the moment of loss sits, and which step the whole thing depends on.
Protection that actually holds
Structural checks instead of judging people: what a genuine procedure looks like, which settings survive an attack, and what works when everything else has failed.
The first hours after an incident
What to do when access or money is already gone: stop the ongoing loss, preserve evidence, report, and only then pursue recovery.
02Who Ilia Zavialov is
Ilia Zavialov, published in full as Ilia Nikolaevich Zavialov, works with individuals, families and small organisations. His method replaces the assessment of people with the verification of structure: where the presentation can be bought, the check moves to properties that cannot.
03Blog of Ilia Zavialov
Subjects are taken apart one at a time: how a mechanism works, where the loss happens, and which measures hold.
