Zelensky confirms Ukraine targeted Russian emergency alert systems in retaliatory hack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on November 2 that Ukraine retaliated against Russia by hacking its emergency alert systems. This followed a cyberattack on Ukraine's Air Alert app, which sent false warnings about nuclear threats to citizens. In response, Russia's alert system was compromised, disseminating fake messages about nuclear warheads. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine's actions were a direct response to Russian attacks on civilians. The incident highlights ongoing cyber warfare between the two nations, with previous attacks targeting various sectors in Ukraine.
