Poland condemns Russia over cyberattacks
Poland discloses being targeted alongside Germany and the Czech Republic in cyberattacks attributed to Russian hacker group APT28
Poland has condemned purported cyberattacks by a Russian group called APT28 on Germany and the Czech Republic, revealing that it has also been a target of such attacks.
Poland expressed solidarity with Germany and the Czech Republic in light of cyberattacks on their democratic institutions and political parties, the foreign ministry said in a statement posted on its website.
Germany blamed Russia on Friday for launching cyberattacks on its ruling party and defense and aerospace firms as well as on targets in other countries and warned there would be unspecified consequences.
“Poland, which is also one of the targets of the APT 28 attacks, strongly condemns the repeated, unacceptable, and harmful activities carried out in cyberspace by Russian entities,” the statement said.
Nevertheless, the statement did not provide details on the attack. “Facing the continuous increase in threats in cyberspace, Poland is actively working to protect critical infrastructure, build resilience, and strengthen cyber defense.”
