The blow to the formation of the soldiers of the 128th separate mountain assault brigade could be adjusted due to messages in the Signal messenger.

The head of the SBU Cybersecurity Department Ilya Vityuk told Ukrinform about this.
One of the threats is sending phishing messages to hack the messengers of specific military personnel. They are sent by the hacker group “Armageddon”. During the investigation of the attack, during which more than 30 of our servicemen were killed, we found that one of the devices on which the Signal messenger was running received a message about the specific date and location of the military formation, where the missile subsequently arrived. Now one of the main versions is that targeting became possible precisely because of technical penetration,” Vityuk said.
Let us remind you that on November 4, a tragedy occurred in the 128th brigade – the invaders attacked Ukrainian military personnel in one of the front-line villages of the Zaporozhye region during a formation to present awards on the occasion of the Day of Rocket Forces and Artillery.
The 128th brigade confirmed the death of 19 soldiers.
The soldiers of the 128th separate mountain assault brigade were gathered in the courtyard of the house, ignoring camouflage. The Main Inspectorate of the Ministry of Defense established that the military was not only gathered for the award ceremony, more than ten cars were also parked nearby.
At this time, a Russian reconnaissance drone was operating in the sky and it was recorded. An air raid alert was declared in the area, and the military was warned about the sector in which an enemy UAV was operating.
After the missile launch, a “missile danger” signal was issued. But “no centralized security measures were taken at the award ceremony site.”
