In Crimea, several radio stations broadcast reports of a possible evacuation of residents. As RIA Novosti writes , hackers hacked the broadcasts, the messages being spread are false. Oleg Kryuchkov, adviser to the "head" of the republic, confirmed that the information is invalid, and the transmitters are being switched off.
RIA reports that the hacker attack did not affect the operation of Sputnik in Crimea radio.
Against this background, the singer Yulia Chicherina proposed to engage in “purges” among the employees of Crimean radio stations.
“Neither the radio nor the broadcasting company can be hacked if there is no traitor among the employees, and as you know, out of three partisans, one works for the enemy. Maybe it's time to clean up the frames? Just my songs will sound on the updated radio stations.
In February, in Moscow, Dolgoprudny, Voronezh, as well as in the Russian-occupied Crimea, air raid alerts sounded on the air of radio stations and on some TV channels. The Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation announced a hack. On February 23, residents of several regions of Crimea heard on the radio an appeal by the head of military intelligence of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, as well as an air raid signal. The owner of the Gazprom-Media stations explained everything with a kind of “technical failure”.
