Instant messaging app Signal said rumors circulating on several apps that its messaging platform has been “compromised and hacked” is false.
Signal said in a tweet that it saw an uptick in usage in Eastern Europe and the rumor messages were often attributed to official government sources that read “attacks on Signal platform.”
Signal’s statement comes after a spate of cyberattacks knocked down Ukrainian banking and government websites along with Russian government owned-websites and state-run media outlets.
