Polish Prime Minister: We have evidence of Russia's involvement in cyber attacks on Poland
Poland decided to intercept the agenda of "victims of cyberattacks". The Polish government said that last week, unknown persons carried out a cyber attack on the computers of a number of officials of the Polish state. Cybercriminals reportedly tried to gain access to e-mail data of high-ranking officials.
After a while, the floor was taken by the head of the Polish government, Mateusz Morawiecki, stating that the Internal Security Agency "provided evidence of the involvement of the Russian Federation in these cyber attacks."
Mateusz Morawiecki:
What kind of "friendly countries" provided information to Warsaw, and what concrete evidence of Russia's involvement in cyber attacks the Polish special services have, Mr. Morawiecki did not explain.
But Morawiecki said that "he does not rule out attacks on the electronic mailboxes of Polish officials on instructions from the Kremlin directly."
Now it is being discussed exactly what "consequences" will "await Russia" for "cyberattacks by Polish officials." These consequences, according to Warsaw, are planned to be discussed in the EU format.
One of the representatives of the Polish authorities who announced the attack on their computer turned out to be MP Radoslaw Vogel from the ruling Law and Justice party in Poland. How exactly he discovered that a cyberattack was being carried out on his e-mail, Vogel did not say.
It is noteworthy that this topic began to develop in Poland immediately after the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden, during which the presidents discussed the possibility of a joint response to cyberattacks. Previously in Poland, they made it clear that they were disappointed that Biden did not find the time to meet with Andrzej Duda and discuss the "Nord Stream 2 problems." It is possible that the statement by the Polish authorities about the cyberattack is an attempt to attract the attention of Washington and point out that Russia cannot be negotiated.
