“Fake alerts warn of nuclear danger as Ukraine and Russia report emergency app hacks”

Ukrainian and Russian alert apps were hacked, signaling false nuclear danger.

Key points

  • Ukraine's Air Alert app was compromised, prompting officials to suspend and restore it.
  • Russia reported a separate cyberattack on its public alert system with fake information.
  • Messages warned of radiation and nuclear threats, later deemed baseless by authorities.
  • The incidents followed a six-day truce in Kherson, the region of Oleshky evacuation.
  • Officials urged calm, noting no verified radiation threat and the alerts were unauthorized.
