Hacked Alert Apps Send False Nuclear Warnings (aol.co.uk)

Russian and Ukrainian emergency apps were hacked on November 1 and 2 to send false alerts warning of imminent nuclear attacks. The pro-Ukrainian group ATESH claimed responsibility for breaching Russia's Emergencies Ministry app, instructing residents in Voronezh Oblast to stockpile food and hide in basements. Ukraine's Air Raid Alert service also distributed unauthorized notifications citing radiation and chemical threats before officials confirmed the messages were untrue.
