Moscow and Kiev targeted by cyberattacks on alert systems

This morning, Russia and Ukraine engaged in mutual cyberattacks targeting each other's alert systems. Russia's Emergency Ministry app was hacked, sending false nuclear alerts to users. The Ministry confirmed the attack but stated the general alert system remained unaffected. Additionally, the Russian hosting provider Beget faced issues due to the attack. In Ukraine, the air alert app was compromised, sending messages about radiation and urban combat threats, including a false nuclear alert.
