  "account": "Ukraine and Russia have reported that their official emergency alert apps have been hacked. In Ukraine, the \"Air Alert\" app sent false warnings of radioactive radiation in Kyiv on Sunday evening, prompting the Ukrainian air force to warn that the app may have been compromised by the enemy. Russia then reported a massive cyberattack on its own warning app on Monday, with false information sent to the population. The Russian ministry did not speculate on who was behind the attack. The incidents occurred as Russia continues its military campaign against Ukraine, which has included cyberattacks.",
  "summary": "Radioactive radiation in Kyiv and chemical weapons attacks? False warnings in an apparently hacked emergency app are alarming citizens in Ukraine. This is followed by a cyberattack on Russia.",
