5 hours agoESET: Russia likely behind Poland power grid attack
Russia was probably behind the failed attempts to compromise the systems of Poland's power companies in December, cybersecurity researchers claim. ESET attributed the attack with "medium" confidence to Russia's GRU-run Sandworm unit, after it investigated the attack and its use of wiper malware. The attackers, believed to be state-backed, deployed DynoWiper malware on Poland's national energy systems. Energy minister Milosz Motyka said they attempted to disrupt communication between renewable hardware and power distribution operators, but were unsuccessful.
