US EditionReasons to believe Russia behind cyberattack on Polish power system, PM says
The cyberattack targeted renewable energy and heat plants, nearly causing a blackout affecting up to 500,000 consumers, Poland says, attributing the incident to Russian state-backed actors.
- Last month, Poland's government said it quietly warded off a major cyber assault over the Christmas break that nearly caused a nationwide blackout by targeting communications between renewable energy installations and power distribution operators.
- Poland blamed Russia, saying its government views the attack as sabotage amid intensified Russian infrastructure attacks in recent years.
- Officials added that Krzysztof Gawkowski, Poland's Digital Affairs Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, called it the largest energy attack in recent years, linking around 170,000 cyber incidents in first three quarters of 2025 to Russian-backed actors.
- Poland attributed the attack to Russia; officials have yet to receive a response from Moscow, as officials warn digital warfare incidents are increasing and reflect a changing battlefield.
- Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka said the incident marked a shift from attacks on conventional plants to renewables' communications, and Krzysztof Gawkowski warned the sabotage aimed to destabilize Poland.
