The Russian Ministry for Emergency Situations has announced that the country's official mobile application designed to warn civilians of incoming air attacks has been targeted by a massive cyberattack. According to a statement released by the ministry on Telegram, the breach enabled hackers to inject false information into the system, misleading the population during critical moments.
This incident follows earlier warnings from the Ukrainian Air Force regarding their own alert system. The Ukrainian military had previously noted that the "Air Alert" application might be providing incorrect data due to potential hostile interference, highlighting a pattern of digital disruption affecting emergency communication channels in the region.
