"There was no disruption to any production, operational or research processes, and the MARIA reactor works safely and without interference, with full power. The NCBJ said its IT infrastructure was recently targeted by hackers, but the attempt was thwarted and systems have not been compromised."
"Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Affairs Krzysztof Gawkowski told news broadcaster TVN24+ that early indicators suggest Iran as the source of the hacking attempt. He cautioned, however, that the evidence might have been planted to mislead investigators and obscure the true origin."
"The National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) is Poland's largest research institute focused on nuclear science and technology. It operates the country's only nuclear research reactor, MARIA, and conducts research in nuclear and particle physics, reactor technology, radiopharmaceuticals for medical applications, and industrial and environmental applications."
Poland's National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ), the country's largest nuclear science institute operating the MARIA research reactor, experienced a cyberattack attributed to Iranian hackers. The attack was successfully thwarted with no compromise to IT infrastructure or disruption to production, operational, or research processes. The MARIA reactor continued operating safely at full power. Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski indicated Iranian involvement based on early indicators but cautioned that evidence could have been planted to mislead investigators. This incident follows a previous cyberattack on Poland's power grid two months earlier, attributed to Russian actors, which caused permanent damage to industrial control systems without causing electrical outages.
