On the night of November 1, Russian hackers sent nationwide messages through Ukraine's national air warning system, warning of nuclear and chemical attacks, as well as street fighting. The amateurish attempt is quickly revealed by the use of Russian and the comic opening of "Hey! " In what was supposed to be an official state warning. Instead of panicking, Ukrainians did what they do best: turned the incident into a meme fest, with jokes flooding social media within minutes of the alerts. It will take a lot more than a poorly executed hack to scare the Ukrainians.
