Polish authorities detained a Russian citizen suspected of hacking into the IT systems of local companies — the latest in a series of cases Warsaw has linked to Moscow’s expanding sabotage and espionage efforts.
Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński said Thursday that police arrested the man for breaching security systems to gain access to company databases. A more detailed statement from the Krakow prosecutor’s office said the suspect allegedly hacked into an online retailer’s systems without authorization and manipulated its databases in ways that could have disrupted operations and endangered customers.
