Greek national security advisor targeted by Russian pranksters

Thanos Dokos, the National Security Advisor to the Greek Prime Minister, was deceived by Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus, who posed as Ukrainian officials. During the recorded call, the hoaxers claimed that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense was acting autonomously regarding military operations involving drones. They warned of potential future drone incidents in Greek territorial waters targeting Russian ships and yachts. Dokos expressed significant concern regarding such actions, citing potential negative impacts on Greek-Ukrainian relations and internal political consequences ahead of upcoming elections. The Greek government officially confirmed the incident, classifying it as a hybrid attack utilizing advanced artificial intelligence technology to bypass communication security protocols. Authorities emphasized that no confidential or classified information was leaked during the conversation. Meanwhile, the opposition party PASOK has formally requested the resignation of Dokos following the security breach.
