Poland Investigates Cyber Attack on Railway Network

The Polish government news agency reported today, Saturday, that "the Internal Security Agency is investigating a cyber attack on the country's railway network that caused disruptions to train operations last night." The agency noted that "hackers used railway frequencies to send a signal that led to an emergency stop of trains in northwestern Poland, resulting in delays." Stanisław Żaryn, Deputy Coordinator of Special Services, stated, "The Internal Security Agency and the police are investigating the unauthorized use of the train traffic management system." He added, "Such attempts are carried out by the Russian Federation in collaboration with Belarus, which is why we do not underestimate any signals received by the Internal Security Agency."
