The Ukrainian state news agency was hit by a hacker attack
Ukrinform, the Ukrainian public news agency, was targeted by a cyberattack that altered its website and social media profiles. The attackers changed the homepage to display the word 'ZELENET' and included an image of a crossed-out Ukrainian flag. The agency's X account name was also modified to 'ZELENET', with a pro-Russian slogan added to the profile description. Following the attack, a message appeared on the website apologizing for temporary inconveniences. Investigations are ongoing, and Ukrinform is collaborating with the Security Service of Ukraine and the State Special Communications and Information Protection Service to address the aftermath. This incident marks the latest in a series of cyberattacks against the agency.
