Details
Analysts point out that the fake letters refer to a missile attack on the Rivne NPP, which caused an increased level of radiation.
The documents also include evacuation instructions and links to questionable resources.
The SES did not send out such messages, and the organization's mails were not hacked. It is likely that these letters were sent through duplicate mailboxes and are part of a Russian information attack aimed at spreading panic among the population, discrediting Ukrainian government agencies and reducing the level of trust in them
Ukrainians who have received such an email are advised to mark it as spam and not to click on the links.
If you still followed the link, contact the Cyberpolice
