The Security Service of Ukraine exposed an enemy bot farm in Kharkiv, which sent SMS messages to the Ukrainian military and law enforcement officers urging them to surrender and go over to the side of the occupiers. This was stated by the SBU in Telegram.
According to the report, in this way, the special services of the Russian Federation tried to conduct a special information operation and undermine the moral and psychological state of the Ukrainian security forces..
They were sent SMS with the following text: “The outcome of events is a foregone conclusion! Be prudent and refuse to support nationalism and discredited leaders of the country who have already fled the capital!
The SBU noted that cyber experts quickly discovered and neutralized the bot farm. However, during its work, the enemy managed to send about 5 thousand SMS via this channel..

They also said that the owner of the house himself did not understand his function, but he received money for work..
“The owner of the house admits that he did not even know about his role in the “special operation” of the enemy. He only had to connect the equipment to the Internet and download the SIM cards of mobile operators. The Russian special services estimated his work at $2,000 per month,” the report said..
The equipment was seized, and the SBU is taking appropriate measures with all those involved.
Earlier it became known that the Ukrainian military completely liberated the Vyshgorod region.
