Cyberattack at Polish Space Agency (POLSA)
INCIDENT
Poland's Minister for Digitalization, Krzysztof Gawkowski, said a cyberattack was detected at the Polish Space Agency (POLSA) on March 1. Unauthorized access to the IT infrastructure was detected. The agency's network was immediately disconnected from the internet to secure data, and intensive operational activities are underway to identify the perpetrator.
Sources inside the agency, who asked to remain anonymous, claimed the attack appears to be related to an internal email compromise and that staff are being told to use phones for communication instead. The incident is being analyzed, and cybersecurity services are investigating, amid concerns of potential destabilization attempts.
