Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations announced on Monday that its mobile application, primarily used to alert the public to Ukrainian drone attacks, had been targeted by a “wide-scale cyberattack.”
The ministry stated on Telegram that the app had suffered a broad cyberattack, enabling attackers to disseminate false information among the population. Efforts are currently underway to patch the security vulnerability in the app and restore its normal operation.
This announcement comes shortly after the Ukrainian Air Force declared that its official application, used by Ukrainians to receive alerts about Russian air strikes, had been compromised.
