Poland: Russian cyber attack behind fake news about Tusk

A Russian cyberattack may be behind a fake news story published by the state-run Polish news agency PAP today, the Polish government said, according to TT.

Earlier today, PAP published a news story that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wanted to mobilize and send 200,000 Polish citizens to Ukraine. That news, according to the PAP, was fake and not produced or published by their editorial staff. After being deleted, it appeared on the news agency's website a second time.

"Another serious hacker attack that shows Russia's strategies to destabilize before the EU elections", writes Donald Tusk on X.

TT reports that Poland's security police say they have taken action and that the PAP has launched its own investigation into the incident.
