MOSCOW, March 23. /TASS/. Russia’s Public Chamber has warned about possible fake news about the terror attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall music venue on social networks and messengers.

"Fake calls and warnings about new attacks are possible on various chats, especially on school or kindergarten chats. Fakes are likely to be spread from Crocus and around it. Fake reports from the crisis management center are not ruled out," Alexander Malkevich, first deputy chairman of the Public Chamber’s commission for the development of information community, told TASS.

According to Malkevich, cyberattacks are likely to follow. "That is why we must be maximally vigilant. Only reliable source. The more so as we see that both the Moscow mayor and the Moscow Region governor are informing about what is going on," he said.
