The group, whose members were not publicly identified, extorted information from Polish local government agencies and state companies related to military and security matters
At that time, the group Beregini, which describes itself on Telegram as a “Ukrainian hacker group,” claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that it was a response to the Olympic Games being “turned into a political oppression instrument.”
According to Gawkowski, Poland’s Minister of Digital Affairs, cyberattacks on Poland have doubled since last year, amounting to more than 400,000 in the first half of the year. The country is an attractive target for pro-Russian hackers since it supplies military aid to Ukraine and hosts Ukrainian refugees
