Kyiv police are taking measures to identify the persons who hacked the mailbox of the Ukrainian State Service on Emergency Situations and sent out fake reports about an alleged leak of mercury in one of the districts of Kyiv and the evacuation of people.
“The information about fake reports has been included on the single
register. A check is being conducted in this regard,” the city police’s
press service reported.
It adds that police officers were currently establishing the
circumstances and persons involved in the sending of respective reports,
including to the mobile phones of citizens.
The press center of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) told
Interfax-Ukraine that SBU experts would also be involved in establishing
a circle of persons involved in the delivery of misleading reports.
