De facto cyberwar — Poland says it uncovered 'saboteurs' working for Russia, Belarus

Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski said the perpetrators' goals were to "extort information, to #blackmail individuals and institutions, and to wage de facto #cyberwar."

Gawkowski highlighted a recent cyberattack against the Polish Anti-Doping Agency (POLADA), which was part of a "broader operational game" of foreign security services to gain access to other institutions.

A number of suspected spy networks, allegedly run by Minsk and Moscow, had been uncovered in #Poland over the past years. Warsaw has positioned itself as one of the staunchest supporters of #Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion, leading to a sharp deterioration of ties with Russia and Belarus.
