Ukraine and Russia hit by fake emergency alerts
Original: Global News Podcast | Ukraine and Russia hit by fake emergency alerts
Both Ukraine and Russia have been affected by fake emergency alerts, according to reporting by the BBC's Global News Podcast. The false alerts appear designed to spread confusion and panic among civilians in both countries as the war continues. Officials have not detailed who is behind the hoax messages or what systems were targeted.
Why now: The spread of disinformation targeting civilians on both sides of the war is raising alarm about escalating information warfare.
