Fake nuclear radiation alerts spread in Russia and Ukraine
Original: Nuclear radiation in Russia, Ukraine? No, just hacked warning alerts
Hacked warning systems triggered false nuclear radiation alerts across parts of Russia and Ukraine, briefly raising fears of a radioactive incident before authorities confirmed the messages were the result of hacking. The false alarms have drawn attention to the vulnerability of civil defence infrastructure amid the ongoing war and heightened anxieties over nuclear safety.
Why now: Ongoing war anxieties make any nuclear radiation warning alarming, so the hacked false alerts spread quickly.
