Ukrainian radio stations were hacked, resulting in the broadcast of a fake message stating that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was seriously ill.
According to the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine (SSCIP), the network operates nine major Ukrainian radio stations, including Hit FM, Radio ROKS, KISS FM, Radio RELAX, Melody FM, Nashe Radio, Radio JAZZ, Classic Radio, and Radio Bayraktar.
“Today, a cyber attack was carried out on the servers and networks of TAVR Media radio stations," the company said in an official statement.
"We emphasize that no information about the health problems of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi is true."
According to a translated transcript from Reuters, Russia launched more fake news that President Zelenskiy does not govern the (Ukrainian) state as he is in hospital, or rather, in intensive care due to a 'serious health condition’.
"So, here I am in my office, and I have never felt as good as now. And the bad news for those behind such fakes is that I am not alone. There are 40 million of us (Ukrainians). And with all due respect to old age, 44 is not (almost) 70."
