Poland Says Recent Attacks on Local Politicians Originated from Russia
The Polish government said that a recent wave of cyberattacks that have targeted the email accounts of local political figures originated from Russia. From a report: The attacks have targeted some of the most important Polish officials, ministers, and deputies from various political parties, said Jaroslaw Kaczynski, Poland's deputy prime minister, citing sources from the Polish Internal Security Agency and the Military Counterintelligence Service. "The analysis of our services and the special services of our allies allows for a clear statement that the cyber attack was carried out from the territory of the Russian Federation," Kaczynski said in a press release today. "Its scale and range are wide," the Polish official said. The announcement today comes after Polish local news outlets reported last week hackers broke into the email inbox of Michal Dworczyk, head of the Chancellery of the Polish Prime Minister's. Throughout the course of the last week, the hackers leaked emails and documents from Dworczyk's inbox on a Telegram channel, according to Polish online news outlet Onet. Other documents were also leaked through the Facebook account of Dworczyk's wife.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
