Unknown persons have broken into the email account of Ukrainian parliamentarian Oleksandr Turchynov, chairman of the Batkivschyna united opposition political council, in order to send email messages carrying virus payloads to all addresses in his contacts folder, Batkivschyna said on its Web site.

The party's press service asked all people who received email messages with attachments allegedly from Turchynov on April 11 "not to open the email attachments because they contain a computer virus."

The email accounts of former Ukrainian Prime Minister "Yulia Tymoshenko's daughter Yevhenia, Serhiy Vlasenko and Hryhoriy Nemyria" were hacked recently as well, it said.
