Hackers Blackout Poland, AI Faces Trust Crisis, Trump Phone Vanishes!

Russian Hackers Breached Polish Power Grid Due to Poor Security

Russian government hackers breached parts of Poland's energy grid infrastructure by exploiting weak security measures, according to a report released Friday by Poland's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), which is part of the Ministry of Digital Affairs. The incident, which occurred at the end of last year, targeted wind and solar farms, as well as a heat-and-power plant.

The report indicated that the hackers encountered minimal resistance due to the targeted systems using default usernames and passwords and lacking multi-factor authentication, "both incredibly basic mistakes," according to TechCrunch. The hackers attempted to infect the systems with wiper malware designed to erase and destroy the systems.

The Polish government has not yet released further details on the extent of the damage caused by the breach or the specific impact on energy production and distribution. The incident highlights the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to cyberattacks and the importance of implementing robust security measures.
