President of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, has launched a public campaign to encourage Ukrainian citizens to report and block spam numbers that are being used in the ongoing conflict. The initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that critical communication channels remain secure and uninterrupted, allowing both civilians and military personnel to maintain effective contact with their families and operational units.
Fedorov highlighted the increasing use of spam calls and messages by adversaries to sow confusion and disrupt daily life. By engaging the public, the government aims to enhance its ability to monitor and neutralize these threats. Citizens are encouraged to register their phone numbers with the national spam reporting system and to report any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities. The initiative reflects the government’s commitment to leveraging technology to support national security and public safety.
The campaign also underscores the importance of digital literacy and the need for citizens to be vigilant in identifying and reporting spam. Fedorov’s call to action is seen as a key step in the fight against misinformation and cyber warfare, which have become significant challenges in the current conflict.
