Destructive payload unleashed on tenth anniversary of Russia's attack on Ukraine's grid.
Listen closely, everyone. The US power grid infrastructure is very old, including computers that control it. It is only a matter of time until this happens to the US. Be prepared for it.
Is it the same thing or different?
Poland says a major cyber attack hit its power system in late December 2025 and was stopped. Energy Minister Miłosz Motyka said it was the strongest attack on Poland’s energy infrastructure in years and it targeted communications between renewable installations and distribution operators, not big generation or transmission nodes.
If different yikes.
This is arguably less severe than the Russian sabotage on a Polish railway line that took place about a month and a half ago. A roughly footlong section of track on a high speed line was blown up, and it was only by miracle that no derailments occurred as a result (a total of eight trains are reported as having passed over the damaged section before the track was closed over drivers' reports of strange "bumps"). The perpetrators were later identified as two Ukrainian citizens, who proceeded to cross the border into Belarus immediately after the attack.
No this is the same one from December, it says the attack took place on the 10th anniversary of the Ukrainian one which took place in 2015.
Oh okay.
