#CYBERATTACKS

Poland’s security services have jointly identified and dismantled a ring of ‘cyber-saboteurs’ involved in data theft, blackmail, and “conducting de facto cyberwar,” the minister of digital affairs has said.

The FBI, working closely with an international team including the Czech and Baltic intelligence services, has helped link a series of international cyberattacks to a shadowy unit associated with the Russian secret service, the GRU.

Two groups created by Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) are responsible for cyberattacks on Poland, the minister of digital affairs has said.
