Poland's Civic Platform party, led by Donald Tusk, was hit by a cyberattack, raising concerns of foreign interference in the upcoming elections.
WARSAW (Reuters) - The IT systems of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's Civic Platform party have been hit by a cyberattack, he said on Wednesday, amid growing concern that foreign actors may try to disrupt the country's elections this year.
Poland has been on high alert for foreign interference and sabotage ahead of a presidential election scheduled for May, as it says its role in helping Ukraine has made it a key target for Moscow's security services. Russia has dismissed those claims.
"Cyberattack on (Civic) Platform's IT system," Tusk wrote on social media platform X. "Foreign interference in elections begins. Services point to an eastern trace."
Warsaw said in March that there had been a cyberattack on the Polish space agency. In 2024 Poland said the state news agency had likely been hit by a Russian cyberattack.
