Security Advisor Prank: AI or Simple Gmail?

After our publication yesterday, “Greece’s National Security Advisor is Disgraceful ,” dozens of others followed, trying to pick up the pieces.

“A program is already underway to upgrade communications security… This is a hybrid attack with penetration of security protocols, through the use of highly advanced Artificial Intelligence technology,” government sources stated, speaking of “a hybrid attack with penetration of security protocols, through the use of highly advanced Artificial Intelligence technology.”

To provide an alibi, the Greek media also reported the following:

"Indeed, the same sources reported that similar attacks have been carried out in the past on high-ranking European officials."

Of course, when the comparison is favorable to us, we mention it. Will someone explain to us why there is no comparison with another National Security Advisor who strictly adheres to security protocols and has never been the victim of a hoax?

What the Greek media presents is one side of the story, as the Greek state wants it to be, because the Russians Vovan and Lexus believe something different.

As Vladimir Kuznetsov (known as "Vovan"), one of two Russian pranksters, claims, with a Gmail message and not some "highly advanced artificial intelligence" they managed to deceive the Prime Minister's National Security Advisor.

In fact, he describes the allegations of a "hybrid attack" as "stupid".

"'Extremely advanced artificial intelligence'. What a stupid thing the Greek authorities said. We just sent an email from gmail to his office and they replied to us," Vladimir Kuznetsov, or Vovan, stressed in a post on X.

"Highly advanced artificial intelligence" – What a stupid thing the Greek authorities said.

Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
