The Russian Interior Ministry has urged people in three regions bordering Ukraine to disable dating apps on their smartphones and online surveillance cameras, amid fears that the Ukrainian military could take advantage of the move.
“The adversary is identifying IP addresses across our territory on a large scale and remotely connecting to unsecured cameras that monitor everything from private properties to strategic streets and highways,” the ministry said.

The use of online dating services was also discouraged, as they could also be used to gather information. Ukraine, which has been defending itself against a Russian war of aggression for more than two years, launched a counteroffensive about two weeks ago and advanced into the western Russian region of Kursk. For the first time, Kiev has taken the war into enemy territory. Russia continues to occupy large parts of eastern and southern Ukraine.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs advised Russian soldiers not to open short messages from unknown senders. You should also delete chats with comrades if they are prisoners of war. The Ministry of Internal Affairs advises residents of regions near the border not to share video recordings of military convoys on social networks.
Soldiers, police officers and secret service employees must also delete photos from their mobile phones that identify them as members of these services. They must also avoid using online nicknames such as “Lyosha FSB.” The FSB is Russia’s domestic secret service.
“Workers in the energy sector, including the nuclear industry, should remove their professional connections from social networks so as not to be targeted by hostile intelligence services,” the report continued.
