Ukraine air raid app apparently hacked as users receive false radiation threat, Air Force says
- On Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, Ukraine's Air Force confirmed the public Air Alert app was hacked, triggering false notifications of radiation, chemical, and street-fighting threats across Kyiv and other regions.
- Developed by Ajax Systems and the Digital Transformation Ministry, the app provides immediate warnings about potential Russian air strikes, a critical tool Ukrainians have relied on since the 2022 invasion.
- Vinnytsia Oblast Governor Natalia Zabolotna reported the incident likely involved a phishing operation, warning users: "Cyberattack on the 'Air Alert' app. Do not click on the link in the message."
- The Air Force urged the public to remain calm, stating "There is no radiation threat," and directed citizens to follow verified updates on the service's official Telegram channel.
