Hackers defaced the website and X account of Ukraine's state news agency Ukrinform on November 11, 2026, replacing the homepage with the word ZELENET, a crossed-out Ukrainian flag and a link to a Telegram channel, and renaming its X profile with a pro-Russian slogan. Ukrainska Pravda reported the attack, and Ukrinform's director general, Serhii Cherevatyi, confirmed it. A technical maintenance notice later appeared on the site, saying it would return shortly. Cherevatyi said the agency is working with the Security Service of Ukraine and the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection to deal with the consequences, and that it was not the first attack in recent months. He said attackers are improving their methods and using AI systems. Ukrinform later said experts were working to establish the circumstances, assess the damage and restore operations, and that the adversary was using new methods and tools. No group has been named in the reports. Ukrainska Pravda also said hackers had earlier, on November 5-6, sent readers a fake email about an alleged terrorist attack in Kyiv from a compromised account.
