At night in Russia, the emergency notification application of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations was hacked and a fake message about the launch of nuclear warheads was sent. The Russian Unified Warning System app posted several messages about the "traffic threat" with calls to stock up on food and "go to the bathroom basement" due to the launch of P1-Shemesh nuclear warheads, users reported. The Russian Emergencies Ministry said the department's mobile app was subject to a massive cyber attack, which is why false information was being sent to users. Currently, the warning system is working normally. "The hacking of the mobile application did not have and cannot have any effect on the operation of the public warning system. Citizens are informed through the main channels: regional and municipal warning systems (alarms, loudspeakers), communication networks (SMS), as well as through television and radio broadcasts. The mobile app is just another auxiliary information service," the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations noted. Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian app "Pobitriana Alarm" was subject to a cyber attack.
