Ukraine’s air-alert app hit by false attack warnings | DW News

Authorities said the alerts were false and that the country’s air-alert app had likely been hacked. Hours later, Russia reported a cyberattack on its own emergency-alert app. DW correspondent Nick Connolly and Atlantic Council tech policy expert Tyson Barker examine what is known and why attacks on public warning systems may be aimed as much at public trust as at the technology itself.
