Poland says it was targeted by Russian military intelligence hackers
Russian state-sponsored hackers have targeted Polish government institutions in a recent espionage campaign, according to a new report.
Poland’s computer emergency response team, CERT-PL, said on Wednesday that it had observed a large-scale malware campaign, likely carried out by the hacker group APT28, also known as Fancy Bear, associated with Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU.
Last week, several NATO countries accused the Kremlin of conducting a series of cyberattacks on their critical infrastructure. Germany, in particular, attributed an attack against its Social Democratic Party to APT28. The same threat actor also targeted government services, critical infrastructure operators, and other entities across NATO, including in Lithuania, Slovakia and Sweden.
