Poland Reports Surge in Cyberattacks on Critical Infrastructure – Blames Russia
What Happened
Poland’s National Cybersecurity Center (NCBC) has reported a sharp increase in cyberattacks against critical infrastructure, attributing many of them to Russian state-linked threat actors.
Authorities recorded over 170,000 incidents by Q3 2025, with 2,000–4,000 classified as serious and around 1,000 actively mitigated each day.
Targets include energy networks, transport infrastructure, government systems, and communication platforms.

Why It Matters
The surge in attacks highlights the vulnerability of regional infrastructure and the growing role of cyber operations as part of hybrid warfare in Eastern Europe.
Infrastructure under siege: Disruptions in energy or logistics chains can trigger cascading effects across multiple sectors.
Hybrid warfare tactics: Combining cyberattacks, disinformation, and social manipulation increases their systemic impact.
Regional implications: The situation underscores the importance of EU–NATO coordination and the implementation of frameworks such as NIS2 to strengthen collective cyber defense.
DIAMATIX Perspective
“In Eastern Europe, cyber resilience has become a matter of national and energy security.
True defense requires both technology and trust — coordination between nations, sectors, and people.”
— DIAMATIX SOC Team
DIAMATIX recommends that critical infrastructure operators:
Deploy 24/7 SOCaaS or MDRaaS for early detection and incident response;
Implement Zero Trust segmentation and access control;
Conduct regular threat hunting across IT and OT layers;
Establish a tested crisis response and recovery plan.
