""We've been waging a war in cyberspace for many years now. The number of incidents and attacks has been increasing significantly and radically year after year.""
""The attack was a significant escalation. We've had such incidents in the past, but they were of the ransomware type, where the motivation of the attacker is financial.""
""The nature of the sabotage alarmed Polish authorities so much that the agency CERT Polska issued a public report in late January on technical details of the incident.""
In 2025, Poland experienced a dramatic increase in cyberattacks, with 270,000 incidents reported. A notable attack targeted the energy system, suspected to be linked to Russian actors. The government has strengthened cyber defenses since the onset of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The December attack involved coordinated strikes on a heat plant and renewable energy sources, alarming authorities. CERT Polska issued a report on the incident, highlighting its unprecedented nature and the shift from financially motivated ransomware attacks to more destructive actions.
