Russia no longer hides that it is openly waging cyberwar against Poland. It "attacks and does so deliberately."
This was stated by Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski, TVN24 reports.
According to him, in 2024, Poland detected twice as many cybersecurity incidents as in 2023 and three times as many as in 2022. A significant part of these incidents was clearly targeted against Poland, especially from Russia.
Gawkowski noted that Russian attacks are deliberate, exploiting vulnerabilities in Poland's infrastructure.
"Many of them are clearly targeted at Poland from Russia. Russia no longer hides that it is in a state of cyberwar with Poland. They attack and do so deliberately. They know where our weak points are," emphasized the Polish minister.
It is noted that cybersecurity of Poland's local government bodies is a major concern. In response, the Ministry of Digital Affairs, in cooperation with the state research institute NASK, has launched the "Cybersecure Local Government" programme.
