The minister names those responsible for the cyber attack on the National Center for Nuclear Research
Fortunately, the attackers did not manage to break the security and therefore did not cause any damage. The specific purpose of the attack is not known. However, its source can be determined. Well, Gawkowski claims that, according to preliminary findings, the perpetrators of the attack are linked to Iran.
Iran was to attack the National Center for Nuclear Research
Of course, it can be assumed that Iran’s level of knowledge in this matter is higher than that of this Polish institution. After all, we are talking about a country that is one step away from building an atomic bomb. Poland, however, does not have this type of weapons or the technology to produce them.
Of course, this may be an action aimed at US allies. Due to recent events, Iran is carrying out attacks, including using real weapons, on many countries that are in any way related to the United States. However, this is only speculation.
Update:
In response to a question about the attack, the Ministry of Energy provided the following answer to the Telepolis.pl editorial office:
We have identified an attempted hacker attack on the servers of the National Center for Nuclear Research. The hackers’ actions were thwarted and all procedures worked. NCBJ is in ongoing coordination with state services, including NASK and the Ministry of Energy. An extended analysis of the incident is ongoing. We currently do not identify any threats to the activities of the National Center for Nuclear Research. We will keep you informed about the results of our findings.
However, as we can read in the announcement made available by NCBJ:
The National Center for Nuclear Research operates without disruptions and the MARIA nuclear reactor is safe.
As you can see, the attack failed and there is no reason to worry.
