After the cyberattack, the “Air Alert” application received an update: what exactly

The developers of the Air Alert application have completed the restoration of its operation after a cyberattack that occurred on November 1, 2026. Then, hackers gained access to the system and began sending users false air danger alerts.

This was reported by the application team.

Ajax Systems and Stfalcon worked together with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine to strengthen the protection. The specialists conducted a comprehensive security audit and improved the protection system at all levels.

One of the restored tools was the function of tracking the movement of air targets. At the same time, the developers introduced additional security measures. In particular, at the request of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, viewing information about air targets on the interactive map is now available only after authorization through “Diya”.

“This allows only verified individuals to view this data. The action does not transfer personal data to the application: it only confirms that the user has been verified. “Air Alarm” also does not collect or store personal information,” the developers explained.

However, authorization is not required to use the rest of the application’s features. This includes receiving airstrike notifications, viewing danger levels, and locating shelters.

To take advantage of the updated version and ensure that all features work correctly, users are recommended to manually update the application or reinstall it.

The new version is now available for download on the App Store and Google Play.

It was previously reported that on the night of November 2, Russian hackers attacked the Air Alert application. At the same time, the work of the Air Force and other components of the Security and Defense Forces was not affected and continued as usual.
