Ukrainian State Border Guard Service report on fake X account which spreads false information
An account has appeared on social network X (Twitter) that spreads false information disguised as the press office of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS).
Source: State Border Guard Service
Details: The attackers reportedly use symbols similar to those of the SBGS and post false and inaccurate information.
Border guards stated that false information and fake accounts could be used by fraudsters, as well as by propaganda or secret services of the aggressor country for profit, compromising Ukrainian state authorities or conducting information and psychological operations.
The SBGS advised people to make sure they double-check the news and messages disseminated on behalf of the authorities.
Quote: "Be sure to find out the source of the information, and do not follow dubious links. In general, you can check the correctness of a message by visiting the official website of a state institution.
The State Border Guard Service urges you to trust only official sources of information."
