Russian special services try to gather intelligence under the guise of media

The SBU press service said on its Telegram channel:

The enemy uses specialized Internet platforms and professional online forums of Ukrainian journalists to collect classified information. On these resources, the occupiers post information requests allegedly from employees of well-known foreign media.

In their messages, they appeal to media workers and other members of profile groups to obtain materials for supposedly preparing "stories" or "documentaries" about the war in Ukraine.

The adversary is primarily interested in information about the results of Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian cities, including the locations of the "arrivals" and their consequences. The authors of the "announcements" promise a "fee" upon submission of relevant media files or text messages .

The SBU has carried out comprehensive measures to bring the perpetrators to justice.

The service also called on Ukrainian citizens to be vigilant and immediately notify law enforcers of suspicious "requests" from unidentified subscribers.
