Went to bed in Sumy and woke up "in Belgorod": General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine forced to explain mass substitution of data in Ukrainian citizens' communications
62
The Ukrainian General Staff commented on numerous complaints from Ukrainians that maps in navigators, Internet search systems and weather services in their phones and tablets began to display Russian cities as locations. Ukrainian users began writing online that they were being shown weather in Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod and other cities, although they themselves were in Sumy, Kharkov, Chernigov or Kyiv.
Several messages from Ukrainian users:
I went to bed in Sumy and woke up “in Belgorod”.
What's going on? I understand that the weather in Kursk is important for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but why do I need it?
Who hacked into my phone? According to the navigator, I'm approaching Bryansk now.
And now it shows me what time it is in Kursk. Kursk is 300 kilometers away.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that all of this is connected with the operation of electronic warfare systems.
Ukrainian General Staff:
When the regime is introduced missile dangers or hazards drones, then the system EW works to replace coordinates - spoofing. That's why there is such confusion.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine added that Ukrainians should “take more seriously” the introduction of air raid alert regimes and, if possible, avoid using mobile devices. At the same time, the air raid alert regime in a number of regions controlled by the Kyiv regime may operate for 20 hours a day.
