UK, EU Blame FSB for Poland Power Hack

The UK and EU have officially accused Russian spies of orchestrating a cyberattack on Poland’s power grid. This attribution follows a December 2025 incident linked to Russia’s Federal Security Service. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office highlighted the attack as a disruptive effort targeting Europe’s stability. Milosz Motyka, Poland’s energy minister, noted that the attackers attempted to hinder communications between renewable energy sources and distribution operators but ultimately failed. The attackers deployed DynoWiper malware, a hallmark of Russian-backed cyber operations. In response, the UK National Cyber Security Centre, alongside international allies, issued a technical advisory urging vulnerable sectors to adopt updated security measures. These recommendations include disabling older network protocols and strengthening device security. Meanwhile, the UK and EU intensified sanctions against Russian entities and individuals such as GRU leaders to thwart future threats.
