It is falsely claimed that the cyberattack is also linked to Kosovo.

HIBRID

The portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article titled "Russian hackers attack the USA, Germany and even Kosovo...!".

After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title of this article is biased, as it mentions Kosovo. While the content presents a news item that is not related to Kosovo at all.

The content states that the Russian hacker group, called "Killnet", has announced the launch of a global cyberattack against the US, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Latvia, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, and Ukraine.

So, the news has nothing to do with the state of Kosovo, as claimed in the title.

This article refers to the independent Belarusian media outlet "Nexta TV", which reported on this cyberattack through its official Twitter page.

"Russian hackers Killnet announced the launch of a global cyberattack on the US, UK, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland and Ukraine", writes Nexta TV in its announcement on Twitter (see here)


Analyze:

The portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article regarding a cyberattack by the Russian group "KILLNET", which has announced the launch of this global attack against several countries.

However, the aforementioned portal has also included the name of Kosovo in the title, implying that the hacker group has also launched a cyberattack against the Kosovo state.

While upon entering the text, it becomes clear that the news has nothing to do with Kosovo. Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this article as "Clickbait".


Reasoning:

“Clickbait” are those texts whose title has no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is only intended to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
