Air raid alert broadcast in Moscow by hackers – officials

Emergency services have revealed intruders hijacked TV and radio stations to transmit the false alarm

Hackers broke into the servers of radio stations and TV channels and dispatched a false air raid alarm in Moscow, Russian emergency services announced on Thursday. The incident happened following a string of similar events in other parts of the country.

 

According to media reports, TV programming was interrupted by a warning that urged people to “immediately seek shelter.” A similar message was broadcast in Sverdlovsk Region in the Urals, local officials said.

 

Last month, a false alarm about the “threat of a missile strike” was aired by radio stations in several Russian regions. The broadcast was reportedly heard in cities in the western part of the country and in the Urals. Officials said at the time that the incident was caused by a cyber attack.

 

In January, intruders briefly hijacked TV signals in Crimea and Belgorod Region, which shares a border with Ukraine, broadcasting an excerpt from a speech by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

 

In February, the broadcasts on two radio stations in Crimea were briefly interrupted by a speech by Kirill Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence. In a statement, radio Sputnik in Crimea described the hacking as an act of “informational sabotage.”

Georgia protests persist even after government climbdown

Opposition activists rallied in Tbilisi for the third night in a row, though all their demands have been met

 

Thousands of protesters gathered outside the Georgian parliament again on Thursday, demanding the release of everyone arrested in the previous two days of rioting over the proposed “foreign agents” law. The government has already withdrawn the proposal and released everyone not charged with criminal offenses.

 

Opposition politicians are reportedly demanding the government’s resignation, andthreatened that the protests would become “harsh and uncompromising” unless everyone detained was released, according to local media outlets. A total of 133 people were detained during the riots, the Georgian interior ministry said on Thursday morning.

 

Aside from “several” who were given a court hearing, the rest were “released after the legal limit for their preliminary detention lapsed,” the police said in a statement. Georgian law limits detention without charges to 48 hours. The police are still investigating several cases of assault on officers during the “violent events” outside the parliament.

 

Starting on Tuesday, protesters waving US, EU, Ukrainian and Georgian flags besieged the parliament and tried to break in several times, clashing with police and pelting the officers with rocks, bottles, fireworks and Molotov cocktails. The authorities responded with tear gas, flash-bangs and water cannons.

 

Opposition parties called for the protests after the parliament overwhelmingly approved a bill that would require any organization that gets 20% or more of its funding from abroad to register as a foreign agent. Critics denounced the bill as “Russian,” while the US embassy said its passage would be a “dark day for democracy.”

 

President Salome Zurabishvili, who is currently visiting the US, endorsed the protests and said the bill would derail Georgia’s “Euro-Atlantic integrations.”

 

So did Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who thanked the demonstrators for flying Ukrainian flags. The EU threatened to withdraw support for Georgia over its alleged “intimidation of essential entities for democracy.”

 

On Thursday morning, the ruling coalition said it was withdrawing the bill because “the machine of lies was able to present the bill in a negative light and mislead a certain part of the public.” The ruling Georgian Dream party said it intended to “better explain to the public what the bill was for and why it was important to ensure the transparency of foreign influence in our country,” once the populace calms down.
