False Article Appears on Polish Press Agency’s Feed
INCIDENT
Poland's state news agency PAP was probably hit by a Russian cyberattack on Friday, a government minister said, after a false article about military mobilization appeared on its news feed. Warsaw has repeatedly accused Moscow of attempting to destabilize Poland because of its role in supplying military aid to Ukraine, allegations Russian officials have dismissed.
"Everything indicates that we are dealing with a cyberattack that was directed from the Russian side," Digital Affairs Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski told private broadcaster Polsat News, adding that special services including the Internal Security Agency were investigating.
