The
Ukrainian hacking group CyberBerkut warns that possible “acts of information
sabotage” may be carried out by US Psychological Operations specialists against
the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass and the Russian-speaking population of
Ukraine and has called on Ukrainians to be vigilant.
The Ukrainian hacking group CyberBerkut has released a
warning of “acts of information sabotage” being planned in Ukraine.
The group is monitoring the computer networks
of the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine and says the US
military's psychological warfare experts are set to arrive in the
country within the next few days.
“Today we obtained information that the Head of the
Department of Special Operations' Coordination Center of the United
States European Command will arrive in Kiev from Stuttgart
within the next few days with a group of the US military
psychological warfare experts,” says the statement on the group’s website.
“The group, together with Ukrainian specialists, is
entrusted with the tasks of the organizing and carrying out acts
of information sabotage against the self-proclaimed republics
of Donbass and the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine.”
CyberBerkut says the activities of these American PSYOP
specialists and Ukrainian propagandists will be coordinated by Tatyana
Popova, Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Information Policy.
The group calls on all the citizens to be
vigilant: “Your beliefs and Faith are under the gun!”
CyberBerkut is a group of hackers opposed
to the current government in Kiev. Since the start of the
conflict in Ukraine, the group has conducted a series of high-profile
hacks. It has previously reported on the details of US plans
to send arms to Ukraine, released information revealing the high
casualty figures among the Ukrainian army, information about snipers
on Maidan Square, and Victoria Nuland's famous "F**k the EU!"
exchange with US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt.
