Poland's Energy Sector Cyberattack: A Wake-Up Call for Critical Infrastructure Security
On December 29, 2025, coordinated cyberattacks targeted over 30 wind and photovoltaic farms, a manufacturing company, and a large combined heat and power plant in Poland. The attacks, attributed to the Russian state-sponsored group Static Tundra (also known as Berserk Bear or Dragonfly), aimed to disrupt energy infrastructure by deploying wiper malware designed to destroy data and disable systems. While the attacks caused communication disruptions, they did not interrupt energy production or heat supply to consumers.
