Nuclear Facility Cyberattack Investigated as Possible Iranian Exploit
"Professor Jakub Kupecki, Director of the National Centre for Nuclear Research, says the reactor is operating and at full capacity. Furthermore, production, operations and research efforts were not interrupted."
"Krzysztof Gawkowski, the country's digital minister, told the media the attack spanned 'the past few days.' Additionally, he stated that early signs of the attack suggest it originated from Iran."
"Gawkowski emphasizes that the hackers may be using these indicators to replicate Iran's playbook and conceal their true origins, as Poland has been the subject of cyberattacks since the war in Ukraine began."
Poland's National Centre for Nuclear Research repelled a cyberattack targeting its IT infrastructure without compromising systems or disrupting operations. The reactor maintained full capacity throughout the incident. Digital Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski indicated the attack lasted several days with early indicators suggesting Iranian origin, consistent with expected targeting of critical infrastructure during regional tensions. However, Gawkowski cautioned that attackers may have fabricated Iranian indicators to mask their true identity, given Poland's history of cyberattacks since the Ukraine conflict began. The incident remains under investigation and follows a suspected Iranian cyberattack on a U.S. medical technology company.
