Ukraine’s emergency alert app was compromised on Sunday night, sending warnings of imminent nuclear strikes, chemical attacks and street fighting. The Air Force said the app had been hacked and there was no radiation threat. Many people doubted the messages, while a cybersecurity expert warned that links in the alerts could expose users to disinformation, phishing or data breaches.
