Poland is experiencing a significant rise in cyberattacks on its critical infrastructure, primarily attributed to Russian military intelligence, according to Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski. In the first three quarters of 2025 alone, approximately 170,000 cyber incidents were detected, with daily attacks ranging from 2,000 to 4,000. Officials noted a concerning trend of coordinated kinetic and cyber operations targeting essential sectors, including energy, indicating a strategic shift by state-backed actors. This escalation underscores the broader geopolitical implications of cyber warfare, as nations increasingly recognize the vulnerabilities of digital infrastructure and the necessity for enhanced cybersecurity measures to safeguard national interests.
