On May 4, the Kyiv Independent's editor-in-chief, Olga Rudenko, informed readers about a cyberattack from Russia targeting the news site. Hackers sent emails containing false news about the war in Ukraine, affecting even users in Romania. The emails falsely claimed an alliance between Putin and Zelensky and reported Zelensky's death. The first attack occurred early in the morning, with subsequent emails sent throughout the day, including insults towards the journalists. Rudenko confirmed the breach and stated that they were working with cybersecurity experts to address the situation. The publication reassured readers that personal data, such as banking information, remained secure. Investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of the breach and to enhance security measures.
