Russia no longer hides its cyberwar effort: Poland accuses the Kremlin of deliberate attacks

In 2024, Poland detected twice as many cyberattacks as in 2023, and three times as many as in 2022. Most of them were coming from Russia.

This was stated by Krzysztof Gawkowski, Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Digital Affairs of Poland. He made this statement at the opening of the Digital Skills Summit conference in Gliwice on Friday, November 29, tvn24.pl reports.

According to the official, Russia's attacks are straightforward, as the Russians are trying to find vulnerabilities in Polish infrastructure.

"A significant part of them is clearly directed at Poland from Russia. Russia no longer hides that it is in a state of cyberwar with Poland. They attack and do it deliberately. They know where our weaknesses are," the minister said.

He also emphasized the need for digital legislation within the European Union but warned that such rules should not lead to overregulation.

The journalists noted that cybersecurity of Polish local governments is of great concern. In response, the Ministry of Digital Affairs, in cooperation with the state research institute NASK, launched the Cyber Secure Local Government program.

As reported, earlier, Russia threatened the world with a strike on the American air defense base located in northern Poland. The Kremlin noted that this facility has already been "included in the list" of priority targets for the Russian military.
