Poland's deputy prime minister Jaros?aw Kaczy?ski says last week's breach of multiple Polish officials' private email accounts was carried out from servers within the Russian Federation.
"After reading the information provided to me by the Internal Security Agency and the Military Counterintelligence Service, I inform you that the most important Polish officials, ministers, and deputies of various political options were subject to a cyber attack," Kaczy?ski said in a statement published today.
In all, over 30 Polish MPs, government officials, and journalists were impacted by the attacks that began last year, in September.
