  "account": "Ukraine and Russia reported hacking attacks on their emergency alert apps on Monday, November 2. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed halting attacks on Russian oil refineries in exchange for Patriot interceptor missiles from the US. Zelenskyy had multiple conversations with Trump about the matter. Ukraine's air force reported that the air raid alert app was hacked on Sunday night, with false nuclear and chemical threats sent to citizens. The Ukrainian Center for Strategic Communications blamed Russia for the hack on X. Later, Russia's Emergencies Ministry announced that their mobile app had also been targeted by a massive cyberattack. Authorities were working to address the issue.",
  "summary": "Ukraine and Russia have both reported cyberattacks targeting applications used to send emergency alerts to the public. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy said Ukraine will stop refinery strikes if the US sends Patriot missiles.",
