There was no cyber attack on Poland, as a result of which the working and personal correspondence of the country’s top leaders leaked to the Network, and Russia has nothing to do with what happened. About it with reference to sources writes the newspaper Wyborcza.
On June 15, the head of the Office of the Prime Minister of Poland, Michal Dworczyk, announced the hacking of his email, his wife’s mailbox and social media accounts. We are talking about a personal email that was used for work purposes. As a result of the hacking, the correspondence between Dvorchik and his wife was leaked to Telegram channels.
Later, new correspondence leaked to the Internet, dating back to December last year, including with the country’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. The head of the Polish government discussed with other senior officials the Christmas restrictions in connection with the coronavirus pandemic.
In connection with the incident, Moravetsky urgently called a closed session of the Seimas. Together with his deputy Jaroslaw Kaczynski, he accused Russia of leaking the data. According to the Prime Minister, the analysis conducted by the Polish special services proved that the hacking was carried out from the territory of Russia and was of a large-scale nature.
However, on June 18, sources of the publication reported that there was no “Russian trace” in the drain of Dvorchik and Moravetsky’s correspondence, as there was no cyber attack itself. According to the interlocutors of Wyborcza, the mail was hacked and leaked to the Network materials from there by a person from the inner circle of Dvorchik.
“This is a matter of the inner environment of the Yard. The motivation of the person who published the correspondence is now being investigated. Most likely, it was a conflict, and not necessarily on political grounds, ” a source told the newspaper. He said that such conclusions were made by the Internal Security Agency.
Another source told the newspaper that the discovery of the fact that members of the government use personal email for official purposes may lead to tougher information security rules.
At the end of May, Polish President Andrzej Duda called Russia an “abnormal aggressor country”, accusing Moscow of violating international law and unleashing wars.
In the State Duma, Duda’s words were called immoral and recalled the role of Soviet soldiers in the liberation of Poland from the fascist invaders. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in response to the words of the president, said that Poland itself participated in armed conflicts, in particular, controlled one of the zones of Iraq divided by the war.
“The total number of Polish troops in this country from 2003 to 2005 was about 1,7 thousand troops, later it was increased, as far as I remember, to 2,4 thousand. In Iraq, Polish soldiers for several years killed not only Iraqis, but also comrades-in-arms, ” Zakharova noted.
