An unauthorized alert bearing the word misantropi4 appeared on cell phones in multiple Brazilian states on Saturday morning, triggering the National Civil Defense warning platform. The alert was categorized as 'extreme' and initially reached Paraná before reports surfaced in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Officials said the warning system was temporarily taken offline as investigators probe the breach, and the message used leetspeak by replacing the final 'a' in misantropia with a '4'. The incident underscores vulnerabilities in Brazil’s warning infrastructure and prompted a cross-agency investigation involving Anatel and civil defense bodies.
